Just got a quote from Alcoa (the owners of
Fairchild Fasteners). You don’t want to see it.
We definitely need to do a group purchase.
BTW: Regarding cowling fasteners….why
the 1820-2 stud nuts for the cowling? The grip range on those seems
to be between .251 and .343. If guys are using the -2’s it would
mean the cowling surfaces mated together are ¼ thick or greater.
Do they really get that thick after paint? From my measurements of my
cowl, the -1’s are in the right range. Am I missing something?
Thanks
Kevin

Subject: [LML] Buying Tridair
Livelocks
Okayyyy....
Thanks to Greyhawk and Brent Regan for the education on Livelock
fasteners. Now how do we buy these???
I have not bought cowl fasteners yet. I need about 45 for my 360.
As I recall, Skybolts would cost about $500. How much for
Livelocks? About $700? Is Andre still putting together a mass
order? What if finances force us to wait six months -- how do we buy them
then?

p.s. If you can't already tell, Scott and Brent were very
persuasive...
