TROOP SEATS

[cuz]

For exhaust applications you can find NAS and MS passivated finished stainless hardware that is extra corrosion resistant yet has strength equal to or greater than grade 8. Usually easier to find in racing catalogs and aircraft hardware catalogs.

Here's a few examples:

Now those are some interesting links, I never thought about aircraft quality fasteners before!
Man the D&D aircraft supply has some nice stuff. How about the jig for drilling safety wire holes in bolts, and Clecos I haven't seen them in years cool stuff!
Thanks !

Hello Ric,

When I was living in Tucson there was a very good used tool store down town. I used to buy a lot of tools there. I used to work out at Marana and lived over near Canyon Del Rio High School.


Here's a few acft tool outlets:

and a couple more hardware:

If you ever get up around Wichita KS there's a Boeing outlet store on the southeast beltline near McConnel AFB.

Hey CUZ, Thanks for sharing the links to the tool outlets.

it is as simple as using different alloy grades 304 ss bolts (most common)and 316 ss nuts to prevent galling .
I sell fasteners here in Houston to some chemical plants and shipyards and that is how they prevent it.

Pick up all my brackets from being powder coated and needed your pictures to put them back togetter, now to get the oak wood [ouch]! $$$$.

.....now to get the oak wood [ouch]! $$$$.

If I remember my geography correctly from my days of driving Trailways buses from St. Louis to Chicago, Crestwood is in Cook County. You might as well say "Chicago." (Ooops! Sorry! Didn't mean to insult you there!)

Anyway, I can see where oak would be pretty expensive in your neck of the woods. Go downstate to some small town lumber yard in farming country and you'll find it's a bit cheaper. More expensive than pine, yes, but far less than you'll pay for it up there! I redid the bed in a '52 Chevy about 6 years ago, and the oak for the bed floor cost me about $60 if I recall correctly.

Is that Bush dollars or Obama dollars?

[Lifer]

Those woulda been Bush dollars. If they'd have been Eisenhower dollars, I coulda prob'ly got by for 5 bucks!
