Baxter, bring all the nuts down until they just touch and start to compress the o-ring. The initial part is the most critical. That is when you are going to extrude the o-ring into a non sealing surface. On the HEMTT they need the 450-500 lb.ft. to stretch the bolts so the wheel is clamped so...

I did look . . . once. The torque is correct. :deadhorse:

I posted it once and it was "poo-poo"'d as too troublesome to those involved. It is in a cross pattern in 3 successive steps as I recall, torque to 450-500 ft.lb. At least it is less than the lug nut torque.

You can see what I mean by wanting to stay with the newer ones if at all possible.

OK, so I had a failure of the newer push button style blackout light switch. It has been acting up for some time, not always turning on the marker lights. At a recent event it failed in a "all lights on" condition. Upon internal inspection, 3 IC chips have overheated and burned, since the...

We wish you could have too, it was a great event. The planning for next year had begun before the end of this show.

Some pics: It was FANTASTIC meeting you guys! Here are some pics: Jane's 2010 Arlington Fly-In Pics

Well, we think we'll beat the National's number this year. The numbers were up a good 25% over last year. The count, as I last heard it was 150 vehicles! I guess we'll have to shoot for 200 next year. A big thanks to all that made the effort!

Update, 127 vehicles and counting!

A little excitement, a homebuilt helicoper with an apu turbine engine crashed. Thank goodness the pilot walked away and appeared unhurt.

The display is wonderful, we had 57 vehicles and 20 or so trailers as of last night. The German 88 and Russian T-34/38 arrived yesterday. Pictures next week.

Your baby will be safe here, at least for now we can see it from our tent and kitchen! See you in a few days!

Nope, just bring it and you will be given a place to park.

Load 4, the V100 is loaded and on the trailer, I can't wait to move in tomorrow. I hope to see quite a few PNW SS members there!

Load #2 completed, only a few vehicles there yet but normally they don't start showing up 'til at least Monday. Just a few pics:

Just finished the first of 4 loads, the layout looks like it'll be awesome this year! Time to make another load and we'll be half done.

I'll go out on a limb and say "No". Even with wearing full kevlar, driving into a camp with a deuce and people sleeping isn't a good idea. Plus no one would be awake to tell you where you need to park. 0600 comes early enough with the start of the "weed whacker" powered ultralights.

During part and low throttle operation, Diesels are largely air cooled anyway.

Jinx (Mark), arrivals before Wednesday are fairly open. You go through the main gate and there will be someone to direct you to our area. You take a right at the first taxiway and travel West . . . you will see us off to your left after you travel about 1/4 of a mile. We try to keep speeds to...

I agree, if the part is less then $75, buy another one.
