[NSRCA-discussion] Carbon fiber pipe mounting help request /existing aircraft, limited pipe tunnel space

[Richard Lewis]

Probably not an original idea, but I've used a piece of thick walled
silicone tubing roughly 1/2 OD (looks like small blue coupler material).
Cut a short piece 1" long and make a clearance hole in one side for a servo
screw to pass through and into the opposite side.  Then put a washer inside
and screw through the tubing and washer into a block inside the fuse.  Turn
the tube crossways to the pipe tunnel and pass a zip tie with fuel tubing
over it through the larger tube, around the pipe and secure it.  Overall
clearance between the pipe and the tunnel was probably 3/8" or so...

/existing aircraft, limited pipe tunnel space

I'm doing a pipe installation in an existing aircraft with limited
space.  To prevent modifying structure (pipe floor) I would have to
mount the pipe within about an eighth of an inch of it.  (This for the
aft mount only, front mount is no problem as it is....)

Has anyone out there done something that has worked out well?  I'm
thinking something with fuel tubing and tiewraps or something along that
line, but if someone has done something along these lines I'd appreciate
hearing about it.

Thank you,
Chris White
