The best solution to having AC 43.13-1B and 2A is to get an obsolete CD-ROMson ADs from your IA. The ADs might not be up to date, but the entire set ofACs are on them. I use an Advantext. I prefer their "old" style single CDsetup. Once you have that, you can go the Canadian TC site(http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/ad/ad_e.htm) and get all the latest ADs.Cy GalleyEditor, EAA Safety Programscgalley(at)qcbc.orgorexperimenter(at)eaa.org"I do not have the EAA code number or price of FAA's Advisory Circular43.13-1B/2A "Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - AircraftInspection, Repair & Alterations" but I know you can buy it thru the EAAbookstore. This is the manual which sets the standards to which you shouldbe building. It's a heavy, thick, expensive "how to" book, but one thatevery A&P and IA must have.You will have to pay shipping charges from Oshkosh, which can getexpensive. But you can get the approximate costs when you order the booksand tapes.Doc MosherOshkosh USA"________________________________________________________________________________

For the "Acceptable Methods..." try your local University or Collegebookstore. I picked up mine off the shelf a few years ago in ThunderBay at Confederation College. They offer a mechanic's course, and itis a required text.________________________________________________________________________________

I have found lots of different struts around here at local airports. Doesanyone have any recommendations on the minimum length to use to convert? Orwhich certified aircraft struts to look for? I've found lots of Aeroncastruts.Can anyone make any recommendations??Also, what about using the threaded ends that are on these used struts? Orshould I cut them off and put new on?Seems like the universal cost from everyone I've asked is $25 per strut.Greg----- Original Message -----

Ian, If you are going to go with 4130 al struts, you know you must sleevethem to get the strength you will need.That intersleeve has to fit in there just right. No slop. You'll have tokeep an eye on the bolt holes as the forces onThem may elongate them. Have you considered round steel and fairing them?Would be a lot stronger.CarlPlease visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl-----Original Message-----
