I just used turnbuckles and shackles in the wings. Pain in the butt todisconnect and connect, but not something you do every day, and certainlybetter than cutting the cables.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

Darn, forgot to attach the picture.I just used turnbuckles and shackles, as shown in the picture below:If you look to the left and right of the centersection, you can see theaileron cables and the turnbuckles and shackles. These are accessiblethrough inspection ports on the bottom of the wings. I also used quickdisconnect fittings for the pitot and static lines, made by Colder Products.http://www.colder.com/Tabid/72/Material ... s.aspxJack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

I made sets of plates like the connecting link on a bicycle chain. used 3/16" diameterclevis pins and cotter pins through them. actually went to the troubleof drilling out 1/4" stainless tubing and cutting short sleeves to eliminateany wear on the pins and they were long enough to keep the side plates from beingtight against the cable thimbles.I made them to a length that allowed me toeliminate the turnbuckle on the upper aileron cable- after crimping the nico's/that way I got it close enough to hold them level with the trailing edgesof the wings.didn't save much weight but I am a tightwad.

Glad you were not hurt. A bird strike is one scary event.Took a bird through the front canopy of a T-34C one night at about 9500' AGL about100 miles North of Corpus Christi, TX. It sounded like a shotgun went offover my head. we got down okay and landed with a huge hole right in front of myface (the student was under the hood in the back seat doing an instrument hop).When the student asked me why the bird was out flying at night, I told himthat I guess the bird was out getting his night minimums. :0)--------Semper Fi,Terry HandRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 22:36:01 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Aileron cable quick disconnect

I found a Dutch company selling the 4130 steel.For the rebuilding of my motor im looking for a( garage hand book)whit all the tolerances so I can find out what is good and bad in my engine so I can start making it like new.I found a Bendix S4LN type nr 10-51-360-37 Magneto I can buy for 450,- is this a good option?So 1 cad drawings metal fittings 2 detailed motor info ford A 1928 3 any info on magnetos(should I buy or look further).________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Hi I'm new here.

Hi Matthijs,Welcome to the Piet list. There are others on this list who have already forged the road of the CAD drawings for all the steel parts. Hopefully one of them can pipe up and let you know how to proceed. A good resource for manuals on the Ford is Snyder's Antique Auto. http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/Remember, there is a wealth of knowledge if you search the Piet List archives.Good luck,Dan HelsperPuryear, TN-----Original Message-----
