A/C tool kit

Dan: Thanks. I'm surprised at myself, a life long DIY'r that I didn't
think that direction. Thanks

I was hoping to find one of the kits with pre-molded holes for the
different tools. It allows a quick scan at the end of a fixit project to
make sure all tools are accounted for. I just don't want to carry around
a bunch of metrics that I don't need in the field tool box for my
Helicopter. Costco had a nice one but it was loaded with both kinds of
sockets.

OK, this is one of the ways we did it in the Air Farce: Get two pieces
of appropriate dimensioned foam, we used neoprene as well, cut holes for
your tools in one, paint one side of the other piece a contrasting colour
the glue the two pieces together so the colour shows through the holes.
Two other ways we did it: get a thick piece of foam and cut out
appropriate shapes and holes or you can heat the tools and let them melt
the holes. Obviously the latter doesn't work with plastic tools and may
damage the metal ones. In either case you paint either the cutouts or the
surface a contrasting colour.

These inserts can be used in ordinary tool boxes as we did.

Are you really using K-jet on an airplane? That's great!

I've been a big fan of K-jet after owning three Volvo 240s. The only
thing that ever went catastrophically wrong with it was broken fuel
pumps; everything else was gravity-powered reliable. I have a grudging
respect for the LH-Jetronic 2.4 on my Volvo 740s, but it seem that
every few weeks I have to chase down another obscure flash code.

Thanks, Bob K.

Won't G forces pull the air meter flap down (or up) ?

Not if you balance it with a larger counterweight--also added a couple
of S.S.Springs & bored out the metering jets---Takes a wee bit more
pressure to open , but it meters a 314 CID engine to the max.
metering jets are hard as glass, but a dental burr is just the right
size & cuts it easy.
