Spar bushings???

[gmackay]

Anyone have the 15/32" x 1" strut attach spar bushings for sale, or know where I can get them? I had a guy make some for me, but they didn't turn out right. Then the factory has them, but can't sell them till they have the FAA paperwork. I'm building an experimental, but they still couldn't sell them.

Greg,
Use the 7/16" outside diameter bushings that originally came out the the strut attach section of the wing.I know t-craft said they used the 15/?? at the strut fittings but everyone I have ever pulled out and measured was 7/16. I have a bowl full of them in different sizes and your welcome to come over a pick out what you need. Hope this helps.

Thanks Kevin, but I've already bored the holes to 15/32 based on the fact that I was having them tailor made (and the factory also told me they had them). I'll just have to wait till I have have them re-made again.

Greg,
The are easily made with a wood layth(I know I spelled it wrong).

Actually I was able to turn them down enough tonight, so I think they'll do just fine now. Just took a little thought..........and that's hard for me to do.

Yeah Greg,I know what you mean...I had to think 3 times in my life and that's what get me married....all 3 times. However I think it might have paid off the last time.....you know what they say...third time's a charm.
