Forest,
Are drawings available for the welded up wheel pant mounting hardware?

Re: Wheel Pants/Fairings

I totally agree! I am saying that the average Tcraft owners does not want to spend the $750.00 for the pants with brackets. I have a lot of pants from other ships in the barn I get $200.00 per pair .... Got them from Jim Bede when he ahd the airports next to us..

Forrest, do you know if Harbor Ultralight went out of business? I have tries for two days to find current contact info and can't.

Mike,

I ran into the same thing. Unless Harbor Ultralights is trying to hide from us on purpose, I have a feeling they are not around anymore. Let us know if you find anything.

Attached drawings of the wheel pants mounts for folks who'd like to make their own. Mount #1 shows the right side part. The left side is the same except the 1 1/2 x 1 7/8 "U" flange is welded on the other side of the 6 hole part.

Re: Wheel Pants/Fairings

Yes those are the 2670-3 & -4 shown on the F-19 Parts & Price list. page 14. the reinforcements shown below on that page are merely blind nuts on two plates to aid in the install. A Taylorcraft Foundation member is having them shipped to him from here tomorrow.
He will duplicate on a CNC machine & they will be available to owners from him or here in Alliance . For the owner to fabricate, he will merely have to weld the tabs in place. Use the drawing or e-mail me direct to be on the list for ours to be ready in about two weeks. Tomorrow I will list pants available and sources. Harbor Ultralites may indeed be gone!

Re: Wheel Pants/Fairings

I have another source for quality fiberglass stuff. I need to track their phone number down again and give them a call. The made some stuff on a F-24 I am working on I swore was metal. I will see if they are interested in making some.
