    I haven't sent sample off yet. I'm looking to see if I have the print for them. I was going to try and reuse the wire that was installed but most of it was cut into a bunch of short pieces. So I will have an airplanes worth of short pieces if anyone needs a piece or three to use on theirs. I will more than likely go the pop rivet route on this one as I don't have time to wait.

    So after purchasing the taylorcraft clips through e bay and money sent through pay pal and debited in my account and was told item was being shipped lo and behold I was given a credit back... sooo either they realized I was not going to screw around with the wrong item being sent as in Martin wire (see my post above) OR ...more likely someone called the company and bought them directly...either way no big deal. I will just re use mine again.....quite the way to go any how as not just doing a "simple"recover.....

    I can easily send a sample off and get a quote. My problem is by the time the wire is made I won't need it anymore. Usual backlog is 2-3 months. Not sure what it is right now.

    Sounds like a perfect time for pre orders (as in when you have a contract to make it people here buy all that will be made before you execute the contract. Get teh numbers and hold on to your seat. ANYONE with a post war plane being re-done is going to want some.
