Sorry if this is a stupid question.
These safety wires [ to lock nuts etc] that everybody talk about. Is it a special type of wire or will any soft type wire that one can wind up do the job?

Quote: If an electric pump is to be installed run the pump in a parallel configuration with the fuel pickup prior to the vacuum pump and inserted back into the system, after the pump. Mak...

I am not sure what the exchange rate would have done to the price, but can guess it to be R190,000 more or less. Everything happens very slowly - constant airspeed of 34mph.

I think it is only fair that we should make some contribution. We all benefit from the forum and valuble info gets exchanged.
Please work out something so that this forum can grow.
