Snap bushings?

Post by Spike »

Does anyone know where I can source snap bushings? I dont want to run conduit through the wings. I like the way Vans has the pitot line setup.

I just bought the snap bushing kit from Stein Air ... it was 30$ or so and has lots of sizes. I figure I'll need them when it comes to wiring time...

Van's has them too. Might be convenient to combine with another order if you're going that way ...

This is exactly what I did. I combined it with an expen$$ive order from Vans over the holidays. I got a bit, uh, happy at my friends new years eve party and got online with his computer. The result will be a nice, uh, box being delivered in a week or so with some "stuff" in it :-D

I recognize those PN's!

You are gonna love the Fuel Caps!!!

For something you are going to use every day, it is a small price to pay, really.

Plus they look AWESOME!

YAH!!!

A $25 increase EACH is HUGE!!!

Still worth it, though.

Chad, you should have gotten them when they were cheap!

I still don't think they are worth it...but that's JUST me! They DO look great, but they are just fuel caps. :roll: The other thing for me is, I don't think they'll look good with my proposed paint scheme's... :wink:

Yeah, I had HID on my Bimmer cycle a few years ago and swore by it. Its also very congested at my home airport so the extra lighting is very welcome.

I was sweating over that decision until Patti looked at me and said "Its a safety thing, buy it." Well, that decision became easy :D
