Hey folks,
I'm relatively new to the teardrop world, but not new to the "building things" world. For the past 4 years I've been building an airplane, and I've found a company called Aircraft Spruce & Specialty to have a lot of the crazy nut plates, fittings, aluminum sheet, rod, angle - whatever, that a lot of folks here seem to be looking for. They're basically the parts house for people who build or restore airplanes.
I thought I'd just point you in their direction if you're looking for something that one of the other suppliers doesn't have. They can be a little pricey, but if you need that oddball doodad, they may have it.
Their web address is: www.aircraftspruce.com
I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Just tryin' to help.
