Re: Inspection Stories
In 2012 we used some 5/32 pneumatic tubing to snake through the arm of our pickup. The inspectors at MSC told us it wasn't legal because it counted as a flow restrictor and gave us an advantage other teams wouldn't have. They had us rebuild the whole thing with 1/4 inch tube which took about three hours to do. Once we finished the inspector stopped by to let us know that the 5/32 tube was okayed by the LRI and that we didn't need to change anything. At least we got some good practice in taking things apart and forcing tube through openings they were never meant for...
