Russ Ward of Vintage Aero in New Zealand wrote to say that they are now manufacturing streamlined landing and flying wires:
Vintage Aero has been producing flying wires and tie rods down here in New Zealand for the past 8 years. We've done quite a few for TVAL, as well as flying wires for a Sopwith Snipe and Bristol Bulldog. We've produced many Tie Rods and tail brace wires for Skybolts, Bearhawks, as well as wing diagonal bracing wires for a Lard Super Solution, Acrosports and so on.
We also produce SS fittings (AN664 only at this stage) for AN673 - AN676 and AN703-AN706 wires.
see www.vintageaero.com for details.
Material of choice is SS 304, all threads are rolled, and all wires comply with AN or AGS specs. We have built 7 mm tail brace wires for Yaks, and can produce 4mm to 9mm wires to order.
Vintage Aero are also the type certificate holder for Warner engines:
Well-known for the little Scarab 7-cylinder radial engine, Warner was one of the few aero companies that did not grow in the heat of WWII, and remained a one-product company with the Scarab and Super-Scarab engines.
We now have access to the type certificate and approval to resume the manufacture of parts for these wonderful little radials.
Express your interest below and we will manufacture parts on demand.
