Subject: Pietenpol-List: 4130 source? Building motormount soon.I'm ready to build a motormount for a Continental A-80 engine. I was about to order on-line from Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. In attempting to order 3/4 inch X .060 wall thickness, Aircraft Spruce doesn't offer this size. I also need about 10 feet of 5/8 X .066. (I'm using a motormount jig that Chuck G. loaned me and I'd like to follow his design to the letter ... includingtube sizes & thickness)Can anyone suggest a good on-line source for 4130? I think a 20 foot stick of 3/4 X .060 will suffice and provide excess material for practice and a couple of other small pieces I need for something else.ThanksSterlingKnot-2-Shabby Airport & Texas Longhorn Cattle Ranch________________________________________________________________________________

my mount for my Corvair, which weighs about 235lb ready to fly is made from 3/4".049 wall. I see no reason why an A-80 mount couldn't be made from the same.AS&S has lots of 3/4 .049DJ ----- Original Message -----
