Thanks for the input.   I don't understand the change you are
 recommending.  I am sure that is my problem and not how you  expressed it.
 But can you take another shot at describing the  modification--just pretend
you are talking to a complete idiot.   We  can get Paul involved so that the
plans are modified.          Jerry

Jerry, thanks for the suggestion on the bushings, I was considering  how
I would approach that.

Feel free to use me as a reference.

Assuming you take on more 801 mounts, you should consider how to  provide
the necessary clearance to the nose gear shelf. At a  minimum, provide some
0.5" spacers. Those of us w/o machine shops  don't have the odds & ends of
materials to utilize. The best  solution is probably to move the point where
the frame member welds  to the mounting bolt 'tube' forward that amount. I
ended up  spending an hour on a hack-saw cutting up scrap 1/8" plate to get
 my spacers.

  Kenny,  I think I forgot to mention this before but after you get
  the strut installed you can make bushings that go on either side
  of the rod end out of 1" o.d. x 1/2" i.d. aluminum tube available
  at any metal supplier or from ACS. Leave about 1/16"  clearance.
This will give a nice finished look to the  installation.

   Also, may I give your name and contact info to a Ch 801 builder
  who is considering an engine mount?   Perhaps you already know
  him.  Name is Kenneth Johnson.             Thanks,  Jerry

Sorry guys I am in London using my EeePC so I don't have access to  Rhino.

What Kenny needs is four aluminum spacers 1/2 inch thick to move the
 mount 1/2 inch forward. This will give him motor mount tube  clearance for
a transverse beam on the front side of the firewall.

Paul,  it is so  cool that the newsletter can travel.   I am  impressed.

Me too. I owe it all to the EeePC 1000!

Its expensive over here.  Food is twice as high.

I found a book in Foyles on turbine engineering. 90 pounds. OUCH!!!!
Robin is going to kill me! All you turbo compound guys will benefit.

Foyles is 100 yards north on the west side of Charring Cross from Leicester
underground station.

Paul,

I gather the EeePC 1000 is doing well.  Any other comments about it?
I'm looking for a lighter weight laptop to travel with.

Have you ever traveled with a normal laptop?


Regards,

Matt-

Yes it is Matt. Yes I have traveled with others. The big advantages are the small size and 3 pound weight. The six hour battery life is
a bonus. The keyboard is just big enough to type on. No bigger.
Another is the solid state 40 GB memory which makes it much more
rugged.

The icing on the cake was the raft of Linux programs pre installed and tested it came with.

BTW gas over here is 8 or 9 bucks a gallon. We think we have it bad!
