TaylorCraft 15A Tourist

[BannerGuy123]

I have recently bought a Taylorcraft 15A tourist but it is missing the Tailbrace wires and brackets. I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction to where i can get a Parts manual so i can let the suppliers know what I need or if anyone knows the parts number and sizes of the of the two.

Please help me!

Re: TaylorCraft 15A Tourist

I don't know if the 15A is the same as the other models or not but I have a parts book that shows the part numbers for both pre and post war models for the rods and hardware. You might check the rod lengths to be able to tell.I would assume you have the 2 hinge rudder and elevators so here is a list. I'll put the part number first, Qty Required as listed in the book, then the description.
A-461 Rod (2) Rod-Stabilizer to Fuselage Brace-Bottom 41"
D-40 Rod (2) Rod-Stabilizer to Fin Brace-Top 44"
AN4-17A (3) Bolt-Fin and Outer Stabilizer
AN365-428 (2) Nut
A-4001 (2) Strap-Tie Rod to Bottom of Fuselage
A-4008 (2) Strap-Tie Rod to Fin
A-4009 (4) Strap-Tie Rod to Stabilizer-Bottom
A-4002 (8) Insert-Tie Rod Straps
A-986 (8) Nipples-Tie Rod Ends
AN 345-8 Hex Nut- Tie Rod Lock
AN960-416 (6) Washer
AN4-4A (2) Bolt at Bottom of Fuselage
Hope this helps,
Buell

Did you manage to get those ? I am in the same position and wondering if the above pn are correct for the 15A.
Also is missing all the pulleys here. Most of them i manage to purchase brand new on Classic Aero, but there are smaller ones under the fuselage that i am not sure yet. Maybe A-223 from aircraftspruce?

I will glad to ear from you
Cheers

But in reply to my question, since no one is replying.
It looks that is different. Longer and wider.
Best match maybe #10 from piper with minor changes ?
