It seems like Sequoia is the best place to get bronze bushings. The manual says that they supply plated bushings of the right type cheaper than any local supplier. I did find a local distributor of the right type of bushing but I'd rather get the plated ones, if I can. The angle 2024-T3511 extrusion is available from wicks as are the correct rivets called out in the blueprints. I couldn't find anywhere online that had the correct T extrusion called out for a few parts, but I did find a local distributor that had the exact right stuff. I think the minumum they would sell me was 20 ft. of it, which was $175. Not too bad if you share with some other builders or something. I still haven't decided what I want to do here yet. I think I'll try some of the simpler hinges and see how that goes. -Ryan Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=73399#73399 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:39:00 AM PST US From: "Michael Schuler" Subject: RE: Falco-List: Re: aluminum hinges Ryan, I too had difficulty in finding small amounts of T bar stock of the right dimension. Actually started to machine the parts from bar stock for the flap hinges, if I recall correctly, but kinda lucked out in finding someone who had those parts for sale.
