Guys:Ready to install wing wires (drag/anti-drag) but need turnbuckles. Anyone have a source other than standard mail-order outfits like A/C Spruce and Wicks? I'd like to avoid taking out a mortgage to get a ship set of these things. Thanks.C.J. BeckWichita, KS316.733.4553________________________________________________________________________________

Good luck finding these things at an affordable price. If you do let therest of us know. I did mine by drilling the spars and using treaded rodsand nuts, no turnbuckles used. Cheaper and lighter. jas>Guys:>Ready to install wing wires (drag/anti-drag) but need turnbuckles. >Anyone have a source other than standard mail-order outfits like A/C >Spruce and Wicks?

Try B&B Supply in Kansas. I don't have their number handy, but they are aaviation surplus and recovery shop that had new turnbuckles for about $5each when I bought mine about 18 months ago.Steve E.-----Original Message-----& Marian BeckSent: Sunday, August 09, 1998 5:13 PMSubject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Wing hardwareGuys:Ready to install wing wires (drag/anti-drag) but need turnbuckles.Anyone have a source other than standard mail-order outfits like A/CSpruce and Wicks?

Might I suggest that you check with the aircraft manfacturers there inWichita...sometimes they sell surplus (swept up off the floor) hardware by thepound. They say it's cheaper to sweep it up and sell that way than take thetime of some high priced line worker to stop and pick it up. I know of alleast two people who go to Boeing in Washington and buy tools that way. Theymake a fortune reselling them on the used market. One in Wichita, also. Ifit works, maybe we can all help defray your cost of buying bulk, unsortedhardware by buying from you.Let us know if you make any headway.________________________________________________________________________________
