When you attach the 2 tail brace cables to the top v-stab bracket, is itacceptable to just use a thimble?Thanks,JackDSM________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 12:56:30 -0600 (GMT-06:00)

Ken,I was wondering if you still have that source available for a Corvair engine ortwo that might be available. I'm interested. For that matter, anyone else inMinnesota that might know of a guy with an engine available for purchase andre-build, I'd be interested. None of the local salvage places seem to have any.I suspect there are a lot more engines kept/hidden in barns and storage shedsaround here than you'll find on e-bay or on Craig's list. Any help wouldbe appreciated.TomRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: V-Stab Fittings
