Subject: Pietenpol-List: Replicraft/tail hardwareGeorge: If you strike out with replicraft, ACS has 4130 instrips--verious with"s and thickness. Order the proper steel strips andcut to length with your hacksaw. A little labor involved, but cheaperthan Replicraft.

Get a cheap metal cutting bandsaw from Grizzly or Harbor Freight. Use thefinest pitch bi-metal blade they sell. Set it up with the blade verticaland use the little table supplied. They're less than $200 and go through4130 steel sheet like butter. BTW, my experiences with Replicraft weretotally unsatisfactory. The only good part was that it convinced me to workon my welding technique.Gene HubbardSan Diego-----Original Message-----
