Shane made a custom oak wedge and permanently installed the strut for the Continental this week. He also made new spray rails and stained and sealed them.

The oil pump on this engine failed during the last sea trial. When Jack opened it up, he found this piece had come loose. He made the repairs, tested it, and successfully reinstalled the engine.

Finally, the owner requested a self-contained, automatic fire extinguisher system be installed in the engine compartment. so Jack got that all set up. Everything looks great!
