Good Evening: I'm cleaning out the garage and I'm selling the KR parts that are no longer applicable to my project. I've swapped over to Corvair power, so the VW motor mount is no longer required. The retracts are gone, so the fairings and the mold for the fairings are available. Additionally, I h

I got a chance on a Corvair (firewall forward) off a Q200 at a very decent price. Anybody out there with any thoughts on what might be transferable to a KR and what may be eBay fodder? For reference, this package includes oil cooler, John Deere dynamo, Marvel-Schebler (sp) carb, starter, exhaust sy

Ray: Polymethyl methacrylate is acrylic sheet - it is sold under the tradenames Lucite and Plexiglas (among others). There are as many varieties of acrylic sheet as there are manufacturers. For example, ICI chemical sells "G-cell Plexiglas" which is supposedly very easy to thermoform. I used 1/8"

This is a pretty good website also. I think I have the same HVLP gun that you bought - the "professional" model with the one quart cup. I've shot a lot of primer-surfacer with it - it works just fine, but it uses a LOT of air. My compressor ran constantly trying to keep up with the gun. Keep us

I've come up with what I think is a foolproof way to lay a perfect layer of micro over a roughed-out wing fillet. I should preface this by saying it's entirely possible that I stole this idea from someone's website or off the KR digest, but I really can't remember. If I did , I apologize in adva

Thanks to all for the many fine, instructive responses I received regarding my camber problems. One thing very comforting about the krnet is the fact that if you have some kind of problem, it most probably isn't the first time it's cropped up. I going to try and trick this thing up with the Jim

So I just spent the last couple of months ripping out my retracts, putting in a Diehl gear assembly, foaming and glassing the resulting holes and today I put my Matcos on only to find that the camber between the wheels isn't even remotely close. I sat there in a very pissed off mood measuring an

There's a older gentlemen in Arlington,TX who is looking for a partner to help him finish off his KR. His name is Ray Goree, and he is a spry 79 years old. The KR is basically all complete, but a lot of finishing work needs to be done. It's a pretty good looking project and it would afford someo

If you want to extend the useful life of a patch of cross-linked smooth prime, put it in the refrigerator when you're done. I've been able to maintain workable smooth prime for many, many hours after I've cross-linked it. I've got to be honest, I'm not all that nuts about smooth prime. You wind up

Very briefly, I discovered a great little tool for the removal of the mountains of foam dust that are generated when building a KR - a cheap knock-off dustbuster. I picked one up at Home Depot - 7 bucks. It will marginally vacuum up sawdust, but it does a great job of sucking up foam dust. Shop

I'm in need of a little advice - I just got a set of Matco wheels and brakes and I'm trying to mate them to a Diehl gear bracket. I've only given this a cursory look, but it seems that the Matco caliper and the Diehl lower gear bracket interfere with each other. Is there anyone out with a Matco-
