Heater and fuel bladder
Hi Jeff,
Do you have the forced air system on Spirit?
It sue was cold North of the stream this year wasn’t it?

Chris,
The key point of the mcGiver repair is to nail the plastic ring to the aluminum wheel. Craig describes that nicely in his post. I then opted to fill the remaining gap in the ring with epoxy.

Mizzen mast drawing
Hello fellow Amelians,
Does anyone have a dimensioned drawing of the cross section of the SM mizzen mast ?
I want to 3D print some spacers in order to mount a small box with an air horn and compressor
