I see they have grips for left hands, too. If I was installing nitrous, I'd happily order a pair of left-handed grips and swap one with you.SuperFly wrote:The stick grips were custom made in the Chech Republic. They customized the grip with the label for Nitrous for me. They are very very nice. I do wish the seam was on the right instead of the left, as I fly left handed, and throttle right hand. So I always have my hand on the stitches, but they are still very comfortable. Very happy with them. http://www.glidinglabs.eu/portfolio/thestick-leather/
I bought cables from Aircraft Spruce, but the labels they provide simply don't fit the knobs. I suspect that, somewhere along the way, they changed knob suppliers or knob design, and now the "matching" labels don't match. I think I'll stick with panel labeling for the push-pull cables, and that means the AS cables should do fine.SuperFly wrote:The cables came from Mcfarlane. http://www.mcfarlaneaviation.com/
I'm a Torx fan, and use it everywhere I can because we don't have to push on the bit like we do with Phillips head fasteners; all the force applied to a Torx fastener is rotational. For the panel, I found black oxide Torx "Tamper-Resistant Button-Head Socket Cap Screws" at McMaster-Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/#socket-head-ca ... s/=11s38wf) -- a very low-cost way to deter an opportunist who might want to appropriate something from the panel. I'll probably use a similar fastener for the Lexan, but in stainless and without the pin.SuperFly wrote:The screws are actually both. the flush ones are Torx, and the protruding heads are allen. Both are SS bolts that I bought through Micro Fasteners. I also used similar screws to mount the windshield. https://www.microfasteners.com/
Security driver bits are available at McMaster-Carr, too, for less than $3. The tamper-resistant bit works in the standard Torx heads as well, so it's not necessary to carry separate bits.
