Hi,

 

Two questions regarding LNC2 I purchased:

 

- gear overcenter springs [the 2 long tension springs on the mains].  I've got both the twist spring and the two long tension springs per main wheel.  In the gear down position, the actual tension per spring seems a bit low to me [maybe less than a pound of tension per spring].  What is the standard for these springs?  Also does anyone have a suggested supplier?

 

- fuel pressure/flow sender location.  I've got a vision microsystems EDI-800 system installed for the O-360.  I'll be replacing the sender unit, but I have a question about the location.

 

Right now, the sensor is on the aft *right* side motor mount.  This means the fuel line goes from the gascolator [lower right side of firewall], to the engine fuel pump, back to the right side to the sender and then makes another 180 degree turn back by the fuel pump and then down to the carburetor.  This does seem like a lot of turns in a critcial section for 'gravity' flow.

 

Does anyone know of or have used a smaller compatble fuel sensor unit that fits between the fuel pump and the carburetor on a lyc O-360?  The line between the engine fuel pump and the carb is a nice (short) down run.  There isn't a lot of room on the left side as the oil cooler and exhaust takes up most of the volume.

 

thanks in advance.
