Alright I have a question how long of a pvc pipe will I need?

 

I have seen 7 1/2 long but I am not sure if this is the right measurement.

 

what can I do for clip for it I have a ATA kit

68mm pipe diameter and 7.5" length is good,

then you can simply bend an approx 30mm wide metal strip,

cut in two, roughly 20cm lengths,

to become your TD clips.

 

There are many threads and tutorials that you can find on here for help and picture guidance.

I used 1 inch (25mm) aluminium very easy to work with, lots of threads in the forum on making them. Or Vern is making them at the moment in the for sale section. 7 1/2 inches for the pipe

[TK bondservnt[501st]]

ATA uses the TE/AP measurement for the diameter of the tube, so it's slightly smaller than a TM or RS props tube.

 

7 1/2 is the usual resulting length 2 1/2 inches diameter

you want 6/32 inch round head slotted decorative screws and nuts.

1inch aluminum by 1/16inch thick

drill first hole 1/2" from end drill second hole 1 1/2inches from that.

So my ATA ends caps fit a 2 inch abs pipe. I guess you can use any gray color right?

where can you get the aluminum strips at and is it hard to bend them into the shape you need.

I used just a common grey spray paint, if you are lucky you can sometimes find the pipe in grey. Clips have a look at Vern's clips http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22546-ap-te-style-thermal-det-aluminum-clipsw-hardware/
