What the **** is a fetzer valve?

Same function as a Plebney switch...just manual instead of electric.

What the **** is a Plebny switch....?

Y'all are just plain whacked.

And I feel right at home.

Plebney switch is used to initiate the collection of rotor wash and flight line. Since both items are difficult to obtain, specialized materials are called for. The plebney switch starts up the A S H receiver, which in turn begins previously mentioned processes. The A S H receiver is followed up by the I D 10T pump which does the actual collection. Switching the canooter valve back and forth is what is required to get both the rotor wash and the flight line. All very clear once you understand the process.

Well look at all you fancy pants know it alls! This guy comes here with a valid question and you all just start giving him a hard time. Shame on you.

So as to the question. That is a Nover Trunion bolt. Those are used when the constant flux case needs to be secured to the tail housing of the exhaust flow bearing enclosure. They are sometimes made of steel with a high carbon content but yours looks more like it is made from Unobtanium. You are lucky you found it. Its is NOT toqued down to 35 ft lbs. Its 35 Nano lbs. Good luck and post some pictures!

Sorry I forgot to mention that you will need a set of Whitworth sockets as standard SAE or Metric will not fit. Remember, when you are tightening in SAE its Ft Lbs. With Whitworth fasteners its always Nano "Sterling" lbs.

Yet another innocent question followed by pages in inane but colorful bull****. Hope every one used proper spelling and punctuation! Suprisingly, you didn't come under the scrutiny of the TM posse, followed by the usual suspects sucking up/brown nosing to said posse. That being said, the bolt was probably left there after maintainance or factory assembly. I have found "extra" bolts, nuts, and fasteners on a few GM vehicles I've owned. If it looks like it's been there a while and all the bolt holes are filled I would not worry about it.

Don't throw it away. Ten minutes after the garbage truck leaves you will find where it goes.

 

[jeffhuey1n]

What was the question in the first place? Dang, now i got to go back to the begining to see if i can give a real answer. I'll get on it as soon as I get back from a MV retrieval mission. And jets1959 is 100% correct, never throw any hardware away. you'll need it, someday.opcorn:

Everyone does realize that this post was opened over a year ago?

It took some of us that long to come up with a reply.........

And tied neatly together with heavy duty flight line.

I hates me some flight line. Always tripping over it outside the hangars at the base, on the carrier too.

 

[jets1959]

It's an oldie but a goodie!!!!!!!

Besides, everyone knew that the bolt in question was for mounting the blinker fluid reservoir.
