Bryce,
Do you have the old strut? If so, and it's bent, have you considered having it straightened or even doing it yourself? Welcome to CCfan. Tell use more about the SN. Pictures are always welcome. |

Yes I have the piece and the problem is that I can't find anyone that works on bronze to straighten it

Grand Rapids as in Grand Rapids Mi.? Being so close to Lake Michigan, there aren't any shops that work on bronze??   How about looking for a prop shop??

Bryce,
I suggested a prop shop since they are experts with copper alloys but I have a couple more suggestions. Try contacting a machine shop or metal fab shop. Also, we have members who have done the strut straightening themselves. It takes a hydraulic press. |
