But it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask. I believe Doug Sapp, Carl/Jill may have them in stock as well as Steve Culp of Culps Specialties in Shreveport, LA. Steve advertises on Ebay with a lot of M14 parts including compressors. Steve may also have the shear couplings in stock.

Never seen that before, maybe that is a temp fix to holes in wings. Anyway yeah, I bought Dave Hermance's 55 in late July. (Formerly called Olga, now Ivan) Love it and now HE is N572ST ( my personalized N #) :) Ivan and I are in love :) Roger Kemp wrote: Smash, Would you have felt comfortable flying her/he after what it went through?
