For the annual on my RV-9A, it was time to replace the air filter, and that means cutting away some of the material in the filter to clear the carburetor accelerator pump. I've been practicing on the old filter and have a rotary file on the drill press that seems to work well, but I don't know the dimensions...
* Diameter of the cut? (appx 3/4")
* Thickness remaining of the filter? (appx 1/4" or so. The old filter wasn't done very well, and there's RTV slobbered everywhere)
* Height of the cut? (appx 3/4")
Hopefully somebody can give me an answer promptly and I can get this all done tonight, and the RTV will have cured so we can re-install tomorrow.
Thanks!
