I need to get a pair of wing spar saddle clamps made and I need the material specification. Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you,I have tried him but Paul has one pair left which he needs as a pattern to have more made.

A pair of spar saddles (W225 on the drawings) wanted for G-BRPM who should fly for the first time this summer.

Neil.
That might be the ideal solution and I shall be in touch very soon.

Jim. Thank you for taking the time to reply and in such detail. I take your well made points. Whilst I do have a 400m strip it certainly isn't the place to be conducting the first flight of a Nipper from. Five miles away is the former RAF Machrihanish now reduced to 1750 m but any form of hangarage ...

The small amount of paperwork that I have relating to the engine indicate that it was built by the owner before last from a Mexican crankcase which Barry Smith machined for the larger cylinders and supplied bearings, gaskets etc. The engine has two oil pressu...

Stuart PM sent , I hope.
Does anyone know the part number for the Dzus fastners for the cowlings?

Thank you - it's exactly what I'm after.

The widow of the previous owner is kindly still trying to locate the drawings for my aircraft ,but in the meantime we could do with some help with our wing step . Instead of being rectangular it angled into the wing at about 45o outboard. The trailing edge does not protrude behind the wing . There a...

So that would make the bolts 4BA ?

Thank you for the offer of a look at your machines. After much swinging and advice from other VW owners , we managed to get it started today. It runs really well ,with no significant mag drop . What a difference it makes to get the engine going. Its little heart is beating and the smell of warm oil ...
