Let me know if you're interested, and I'll cut a 3", 4", or whatever length you need. For my purposes, I'm going with a 4" bending setup like the one Curt Merdan showed in his pics. > > -------- > Tom Kreiner > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435489#435489 > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:43:26 AM PST US From: Jim Markle Subject: Pietenpol-List: First wing is ready for paint!! Huge step forward in getting the People's Piet in the air! Very exciting. I worked out a nice easy project plan that had me finishing the fuse and starting on the wings right after the new year. It's really great to be well ahead of schedule and still not feeling rushed. And covering is FUN!!! Oscar...I better not EVER find out you were in the area and DIDN'T stop by!! Or any of you'se guys for that matter! Especially now, there's a LOT of painting to get done! LOL Hope the Holidays are good for everyone!

It is only about 5 degrees off and that is close enough just to use a correction card. After I get the plane up and flying I will probably come back and try to adjust that out. Keep you eye out. Some sell for up to $800. others much cheaper. As far as rebuilding, They use an Airpath kit. Airpath says refill with odorless mineral spirits.

If you need additional info, I can measure the die, and add additional dim's. The material is alloy steel, probable 1018, or thereabouts. There is no nose radius, so I'm going to add one for my own bending, maybe .09 or so. Bending our U shapes fittings should be pretty easy with this. You will need to procure or mill a VEE block, as I don't have any of those. -------- Tom Kreiner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435544#435544 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/gooseneck_die_181.jpg ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 06:43:47 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Gooseneck Die From: "aerocarjake" I'll take a 9" length if that is possible....? My press brake has a 9 &1/8" opening - so less than 9" is ok but it can't be greater. THANK YOU...!
