I polished all of my wing and cabane struts at one time and my arms were quite sore the next day or two.

I drilled the rear most h ole in the inserts/struts first, (I believe) then once the wings were on an d adjusted, I marked and drilled the other insert/strut hole(s). - There may also be a gap between the strut insert and the wing attach bracke ts as shown in Dan's pictures. I made a spacer to fill in.- Just some FYI .. - I wonder if the wing support cable fitting can be inserted between the inse rt and wing attach fitting to help take up the gap? Just some FYI.

From: helspersew@aol.com Found a few more interesting pics related to the recent thread. Dan Helsper Puryear, TN Disclaimer: This whole idea of the alum struts, inserts, etc. is not mine. I unashamedly copied it from (Brodhead visit '05?) our very own, highly res pected Top Curmudgeon, Larry Williams, from the great state of Arkansas. M aybe it was his original idea. Don't know. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:10:14 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: "Mighty Corvair Again Roars to Life After 6 Months" From: helspersew@aol.com Time to hook-up the industrial fish scale!!!
