[NSRCA-discussion] NMP Header Washer

[John Ferrell]

Good tip! 
I have been using about 20 ga solid copper wire. I will try your method.

  Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] NMP Header Washer


  At a contest this weekend my header came off the engine and I lost the two washers that would go between the engine and header. When I was landing, it seemed to pick up some RMP and I couldn't shut it off and landed real hot. I would guess the idle picks up without back pressure.

   

  In an effort to get back into the contest, I went to Lowes and bought a ½ inch OD copper pipe and a pipe cutter. I was able to cut a thin piece off the tubing about equal to the thickness of two washers. It fit perfect and appears to seal well. I did clean the burrs off and sanded it with 400 grit paper. I did finish the contest.

   

  The better news is, now I can make as many copper washers as I need. VBG
