Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: tail brace wire hardwareNot the same Terry Bowden that coached Auburn. My only claim to fame will be this Piet one day I hope. Anyway....I found that the type of hardware I have and need is quite similar to that used for outboard bay wing brace wire on luscombes and similar to Piper pawnee tail brace wires. The Piper parts cost big $ from the parts house.The ferrules are very similar, maybe identical to the type used on spoke wheels. I am going to check with some motorcycle shops tomorrow. Perhaps theycan fix me up with ferrules. Does anyone on the list know if spokes for wheels use rolled threads or cut threads?

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: tail brace wire hardwareThose who have built wire wheels with wide hubs say "rolled" threads are stronger. (They usually quote Buchanan's Bike Shop in California.) At least oneversion of the plans calls for solid wire of (I think) 18 ga. for the tailfeathers. That turns out to be about .080" diameter. If you're interested,McMaster Carr in Atlanta is a source of soft temper, satin finished stainless steel wire.....Carl Vought________________________________________________________________________________
