Subject: Pietenpol-List: AN Hardware, cable, aluminum--you name it--- DillsburgAeroplane Works, Dillsburg, PAI bought most of my AN hardware, cables, sheet, tube, and streamlined tubing, turnbucklesfrom Dillsburg. If you call them they'll mail you a catalog. I used the Wicks and ACS catalogs to figure out what I would need to order andthen wouldjust call Dillsburg and they take your order over the phone and ship it groundUPS that day. You get the bill and pay them via check after your stuff arrives-- old fashionedoutfit butit must work for them. You have to really know what you want and what you're talking about to order fromDillsburgas the people there can take a list of 25 different items and quantities in about2 minutes--zip, zip, you read off what you want and they box it, ship it and get it out to you.Some days I would call at lunchtime for hardware and it would be on my porch theNEXT day. (butOhio is right next to PA (home of John Recine) so it didn't take long at all butthey meanbusiness when they take and order and they ship FAST. Dillsburg Aeroplane Works 114 Sawmill RdDillsburg, PA 17They do not have a web site nor do I believe that they take credit cards. PS-- I saw a few used nicopress tools on ebay just now but they were for telephonecable nicopress sleeves. I'm sure if you keep your eye out some widow will have and a/c one for sale soon! (sorry....it's true) There really are only two sleeve sizes you need to build a Pietenpol in the nicopressworld and I forgetwhat letter they are designated on the tool. (like Size M, L, etc) The only sizenico sleeves I usedon my entire plane were either for 1/8" cable or 3/32" cable. That's it.
