Who, me?

What makes me the keeper of weird? 8*)

Honestly, wer it me I'd take an internal taper gauge
to a tie rod enad and pull it from that. it's a
straight cone taper - nothing odd there near as I can
tell.

Just measure the ID, OD and length of the cone and do
the math - you of all people should have no difficulty
w/that. I respect your engineering expertise on things
like that - it's a lot better than mine.

Just make sure you get a good polished finish on the
cut, else you're going to get into grief with ends
loosening up on you.

Yes Rich I did this in '99.  The anti burst type is basically a hook and 
eye type latch.

There is a post on the striker plate and the latch is basically a hook 
that drops down over the latch.

Does it make a difference? YES!

The door latch feels a lot more positive.  The SII latch has that two 
levels of latch.  Kinda latched and LATCHED.  If you do not shut the door 
hard enough it is only kinda latched and ready to pop open under minor 
body flex.  I had a passenger side door that was on the outer kinda 
latched position that popped open on a freeway bridge between Portland 
and Vancouver (WA).  My toolbox, an unopened gallon of antifreeze, grease 
gun and a pair of stainless steel bowls (My dog's food & water bowls) all 
fell out.  By the time I could get off the bridge go back across, get off 
and back on to get back to the spot everything was gone.  Someone scored 
a mismatched extensive collection of tools.  Mostly the door would pop 
open under the flex of rock crawling.  Body flex, only catching the latch 
on the first lip and the early style latch is an accident waiting to 
happen.

The anti burst type latches positively and it is not going to pop out.  
Strangely enough the door suddenly seems more solid too.  It is an 
upgrade I should have done 20 years ago if I had known about it then. I 
personally consider it a real good safety upgrade.

It is a bolt on upgrade except you need to cut a hole in the door skin 
for a lock.

I just did a trial fit with a smear of grease on the lock to mark where 
to drill, drilled slightly small and rat filed the hole to a tight lock 
fit.

There is a foam rubber gasket that goes between the latch and door.  Most 
people forget it, but I'm sure the factory put it there for a reason.

I have a friend, Nick who recently put series III door latches on the two 
Dormobiles he took around the world a few years back.  A couple weeks ago 
we were visiting and I was checking out his door hinges and he my anti 
burst latches.  I was impressed at how much more solid the doors felt 
with the series III hinges.

Nick now has a new set of anti burst latches on his Dormobiles and I have 
a set of series III door hinges in a box by my feet waiting to be painted.

Some of the safety upgrades really do make sense and I feel that the anti 
burst latch is one of them.  There are two versions of anti burst latch.  
Get the Series III one and not the IIA type.

Solvent / lubricant suggestions needed. I have unearthed several manual and
old electric typewriters that were stored in the 60s. Some appear functional
but draggy as though old lube and dust have combined to make glue. Any
suggestions of a good something to spray into their guts to loosen things up
but won't eat any rubber/plastic (what little there may be).

Reply-To: [email-masked]

When I was learning to fly in a Cessna Skyhawk 172 I found it a very odd feeling to keep my right hand on the throttle at all times (training technique my instructor employed) and work the yoke with my left hand only.  Landings seemed particularly unnerving with just my left hand on the yoke.

Ron Ward

>>> [email-masked] 12/19/01 12:23PM >>>

Have never heard of any study to back up Marin's assertion that left handers 
are better pilots.  Phil's theory that the left seat command position lends 
itself to lefties only works for multipiloted aircraft up to a point.  Non 
military aircraft and bigger military planes all have a yoke(sp)which is 
essentially a wheel.  You typically set the throttles with the right hand 
and then switch it to the yoke, if that is more comfortable for you.  In the 
old A-3 that I flew, it often took both hands on the yoke to control the 
airplane, especially in maneuvers that required lots of control surface 
movement or high speeds.  Tandem or single seat airplanes have the throttle 
on the left and you fly the airplane with the right hand.  These are 
typically the fighter/acrobatic planes which require real precision piloting 
so the 'fly with the left hand advantage' would be non existant.

Unfortunately, retail propane is about $2 a gallon, with a 10% loss in
power and mileage.

I could stomach the reduced BTU effect if the cost were, say, 0.75 per
gallon, maybe even a dollar.

With a home CNG compressor, it gets lost in my heating bill at a
greatly reduced rate.

Actually saw a J-3 *fly backwards* one day.  The guy took it up on a windy
but steady day.  Set the trim just right and he could stay in place over
the airstrip (a little grass strip I used to use on occasion) or actually
lose ground....

Then again, crossing Nevada one time in the Rover, I was bucking 50+ mph
winds dead on the nose.  With the pedal to the firewall, the Rover could
only do 35 on the Interstate.  After the first few (and the novelty wore
off), all those tumbleweeds making a Kamikaze attack on me got to be a real
pain.

Being a lefty myself I have always been interested in the subject.

I did read once that lefties work in the right side of the brain.  This area
of the brain is especially good at dealing in 3 dimensional visualization
and "what if" modes.

Apparently architects are also predominantly left handed for this reason,
and also some of the world great thinkers eg. Leonardo da Vinci.

Maybe this is why the connection with flying comes in.

Just a thought.

I am looking towards the fact that Ollie my dog will be riding around every

So, Santa, if you're listening, TeriAnn said SIII locks and not IIa.

There are a lot of ribs and rivets on the top but I cannot see why it could not
be done.  The windows may not be able to slide though on the sides.  I took my
top skin off to paint it by drilling out all the rivets. It is quite simple
under there.  The roof vents can be removed and installed without removing the
top skin, but be aware that they will leak as you speed along in the rain and
the water goes between the skins even with the vents tightly closed.  Really
seal them well because the front two are right above the two front seats.

That's strange!  I open my vents for the summer and close them for the 
winter.  The vents are one of the few places that rain hasn't leaked in.

I've restored /cleaned a couple, including a hefty old Royal, with bevelled
glass windows in the sides of teh case to allow viewing of the action.
Kinda neat.  The Royal was covered inside with dust and assorted Mung.  I
used WD 40 and a toothbrush and a vaccuum with a home made very small
attachment, to get the majority of teh gunk out.  I then used rubbing
alcohol and windex to clean up the WD residue.  The WD did no apparent harm
to the rubber bits or decals.  From what I've read here, I'd probably avoid
the WD in future, but it did do a better job than the windex and rubbing
alcohol did on loosening some of the truly crusty stuff.

Last thing you want is your dog leaning against a door that is only on 
the outer latch.

I was behind a VW van on the freeway years ago when a kitten bailed out 
of an open window (A side one with a catch that opens just about as wide 
as a kitten).  The scene still haunts me sometimes.

Hi Mark!

I created your album and titled it "Mark Pilkington" - you should be able to
rename it if you want to.  Only you can upload, edit and delete images from
this album but everyone can view it.  If you have ANY problems or questions
- or if I can assist you in any way - please do not hesitate to contact me.

Ciao!

>Don't you fly sitting in the lefthand seat, mainly? or
isn't that the "pilots" place and the right is the co-pilot or something?
My based on the above, I'd guess that the stick is in the lefthand, the
right being used to operate throttles, instruments, radios and the like.

Actually, which hand controls what is dependent upon the configuration 
of the cockpit.  In a single seat or tandem seat airplane with a stick,
which 
describes planes like the Piper Cup, the Citabria, and most aerobatic planes

and  WWI and II fighters, the stick is operated with the right hand, while
the left 
hand operates the throttle, prop, and mixture controls that are mounted 
on the left wall of the cockpit.  In a side-by-side airplane with dual
yokes, the 
pilot sits on the left (unlike a helicopter), and his 
left hand operates the yoke, usually using only the left "horn" of the yoke,

while the right hand operates the center-mounted power, prop, and mixture 
controls (and radios, etc).  If the co-pilot is flying the plane (from the
right 
seat), his right hand operates the yoke in front of him using the right
"horn" of 
the yoke, while his left hand operates power levers, prop, and mixture
controls.

The single-seat stick and side-by-side yoke are the two most common 
configurations.  There have been a couple of planes designed (a long time 
ago) with side-by-side cockpits but one big stick 
in the middle.  The pilot would control this stick with his right hand, the
co-pilot 
with his left.  There have been other planes designed with side-by-side
cockpits 
and a stick in front of each pilot.  The pilot would control his stick with
his 
left hand while the co-pilot operated his with his right, the same as if it
had 
yoke controls.  With very few exceptions (one of them being the B-29), 
side-by-side cockpits have the engine, propeller, and mixture controls 
(or the power levers in a jet) in the center of the cockpit, which is 
also where the manual trim, flap, and speedbrake controls are, as well 
as the radios and other navigation devices like Flight Management 
Computer displays.

Many, if not all, modern jet fighters use a very small stick, the 
so-called joystick, in place of the older large stick or a yoke.  The
joystick is 
generally mounted to the right of the pilot, and is controlled by his right
hand.

Finally, there is Airbus, which went to small joysticks with their first 
fly-by-wire airplane, the A320.  The A330 and A340 also use joysticks.  
Called the sidestick controller, this fighter-like stick is 
mounted outboard of each pilot.  So similar to the conventional yoke 
control, the pilot operates his sidestick with his left hand while the co-
pilot operates his with his right.  The pilot uses his right hand to control

the power levers, flaps, radios, etc.  The co-pilot uses his left hand 
for these functions.

When the 777 was being designed (also a fly-by-wire airplane), there 
was some consideration given to going to a sidestick.  However, it was 
decided that the advantages of a yoke outweighed the advantages of 
a sidestick, so Boeing equipped the 777 with a dual yoke system.  
The advantages have nothing to do with which is a better way to 
control an airplane, by the way- yokes and sticks are both fine.

So you can see that there is no set configuration of cockpits that 
would give left handed people an advantage over right handed 
people in terms of flying the airplanes.  Some of the truly superior 
pilots I know switch back and forth regularly, flying a yoke-equipped 
airliner for work and a single-seat stick controlled airplane for fun, or 
for competitive aerobatics.  But more of them tend to be left 
handed for whatever reason.

When I bought my 88 years ago, one of the things AB NorCal was pushing was 
retrofit old style latches to replace the 2a anti burst latches.  Don't know 
exactly what the problem was but think it was because they wouldn't stay 
completely shut.  If you do switch over, buy the later type.

I think it was Bill, hiding in Upstate NY, who pointed out that the old 
style latches are not very good at keeping the door closed in a head on 
accident.  Forward flex of the bulkhead, etc. can actually pull the door 
forward and unlatch the door.  Of course, many have found that they aren't 
very good at keeping the doors closed under any severe conditions.  Best to 
keep your seat belts on at all times in a Series Truck.

Actually the late IIa/III locks are the same - these
are what people call the anti-burst lock. Still used
on Defneders - if you've seen "Tomb Raider" take a
good look at the doors (yes I need to get a life).

The NLA ones are the IIa interim locks between the old
SII/early IIa locks with the straight catch and the
antiburst locks. The interim gems used a downward
pivoting hook to engage the catch and are bar none the
worst nasty bugger locks I'd ever seen on a Series
vehicle.

They have this charming tendency to break at the hook,
so the latch stays internally latched but the door
flies open. They are NLA and good riddance....

Mr. C has the IIa/III antiburst locks - Miss J the
early striker-type locks. Both can work fine if
properly adjusted.

handers 
are better pilots

I haven't either.  But it's something I've heard said many times since I
started 
flying back in 1970 or so.  Otherwise, my comment was based simply on 
personal observation over all these years.  I'm not saying I've never known 
any outstanding right-handed pilots.  Quite the contrary.  But the clear
majority of 
pilots I've met over the years, and particularly many of the ones I
considered 
really outstanding, were left handed.  But I'm not aware of any study or 
scientific basis backing up my observation.  It's just interesting that my 
observations support the possible myth that left handed people 
make the best pilots.  I've heard the saying a lot, but I've never 
heard what reasoning the saying is based upon.

Over here it's just less than #1.80 a gallon, whereas petrol is #3.15-ish at
the moment.  Not long ago it was nearer #3.80.
I've a 90L tank that fills up at 80L, gets me a little over 200 miles.

I am basically right handed, but swing a bat left handed i.e. cricket and
golf.
 I drive both right hand drive and left hand drive land Rovers, but
prefer the right, probably due to the fact that I drove on the correct
side of the road first.
 I took flying lessons in my younger days, but never finished off the

Not exactly.  I have a late IIa latch setup and a SIII set up.  The late IIa 
antiburst latch is a fiddly hook into a cup.  The SIII setup is different 
hook which wraps around a pin.

Now we have a real topic, batting left handed, Cricket.  Sometime you have a 
month or two, could you explain Cricket.  Have been listening to the BBC and 
hearing these reports like 274 over, centuries, bad blood spilling over into 
the Tea Break, and of course, the good old sticky wicket.  How do you play a 
game in front of spectators that can take a week or more to finish with a 
score in six figures.  Definitely can't make the complaint that they do 
about Football(soccer to the American Savages), that there is not enough 
scoring.

Having established the desirabilaty of these bits (I've wanted them for
years) here's the real question:  where can I get them cheaply enough not
to go broke fitting 5 doors w/ em?  All the prices I've seen have made me
decide that my IIA latches that actually work now better than ever (last
roof re-fit must've been charmed) are all I need.

Incase you were not aware - there is a Dormobile for sale on Ebay.  Does
anyone know anything about it? Looks like it is out near Sacramento.

Read the rest of what I wrote, Nate - I described the
latches you're talking about - they're the interim IIa
types. They were phased out before the Series
III...but later in the game than the monsters with the
hooks (horrids things....).

Geez...type my fingers to the bone and nobody reads
it.....8*)

I fear we're only hearing from those who are lefties. I'm right handed, 
always have been (although I do ride a surfboard goofy-footed for some 
reason). I learned to drive in the Australian outback in a Land Cruiser 
(RHD). I then officially learned to drive in Canada (LHD). But I honed my 
shifting skills on another stint in Australia (RHD). I've toured the UK in 
a Miata (LHD). I spent some time shuttling back and forth and switching. I 
once drove a Lotus Seven in Canada and didn't notice it was RHD until I got 
out of the car.

I don't really think it makes any difference which hand I shift with....

Subject: [lro] II Vs IIA Thermostate
Reply-To: [email-masked]

I think that I asked a similar question a while ago, but I'm not sure I got
the answer I need.

My engine is a Series II engine.  S/N date code indicates 1959.  It needs a
new thermostat.  Depending on whom I talk to, I either need to get the
really old 'bellows type' thermostat - or I can just use a IIA 'skirted'
thermostat which I already have.

Will the skirted one fit and work properly in my SII thermostat housing?

TIA

Paul in Victoria.
