I bought extruded aluminum struts from SkyTek. About $900 cheaper than4130 struts and easier to work with.http://www.sky-tek.com/struts.htmlThey are heavy duty.... stonger than they need to be, but inexpensive andthey look great polished!DJ VeghN74DVwww.raptoronline.com----- Original Message -----

The more common solution, though, is to find old Piper Cub struts and usethe rear struts. These are pretty easy to find and inexpensive because theywere removed for an AD on Cub struts.Gene Rambo________________________________________________________________________________
