Rowland=0AYou could try Mod number 10823, issue 2, which is Colin Smallwood
's installation. (tri gear)=0AThere are a lot of Europas with similar mods 
but none really identical, depends where you start from,=0Aideally with the
 cockpit module on the bench.-=0AUse plan A, cut a D shaped biscuit from 
the bottom, add a hinge and one of the clips used for the cowling access pa
nels. I cut the biscuits out with a Stanley knife or a hacksaw blade ground
 thin.=0AThen flox in the edges.=0A=0AGraham=0A=0A=0A______________________

ot an Andair GAS375-M gascolator that I plan to fit in the same compartment
 as the electric fuel pump. Obviously it is desirable to have it mounted wi
th the bottom near the bottom skin of the fuselage so that the drain can be
 easily activated. However, it's necessary also to have room to remove the 
bowl. That means cutting an access hole in the bottom skin. Has anyone alre
ady got a LAA mod number that includes that sort of thing?=0A=0AI suppose (
plan B) it would also be possible to mount the gascolator sufficiently high
 that the bowl could be removed from inside the aircraft, but that would me
an the drain would be a long way from the fuselage floor and so not easy to
 operate from outside. Maybe it could also be operated from inside if the s
ample cup is small enough?=0A=0AAny thoughts?=0A=0Ain friendship=0A=0ARowla
