Hi Jim: Kinda unusual that the head is metal rather than ceramic. I know someone that has one, probably from Jason. I’ll see about borrowing it and making a cast pattern off of it. I’m not up on casting stainless, but using a 4 axis mill could replicate them reasonably quick. Will have to cogitate on it a bit.

Something else to remember, is that there is a minimum of about 65 pounds of weight that would have been removed when the a/c was licensed civil. The radio in the front cockpit, mooring kit, engine cover kit, tool kit, most likye the fire extinguisher too. B’s and on would have lost even more weight when the SCR-274 radio package was removed and the camera stuff on C’s and on.
Bill: P/N on the clips should be 76-64069-x. This drawing replaced the 76-31492, 31545 and 31505 when the G model was designed. The 64069 drawing also states that they are the same as the 77-64121-x drawings. Material list shows them to be 2024T0.
I’ll pull the power supply out this weekend and shoot some photos. Probably be a couple of weeks at least before I can do a correct set of drawings. I’m trying to get the antenna reel stuff done now, but having to switch software, so it’s slower than molasses at the South Pole….. The unit I’m copying has some incorrect parts, so I am trying to correct that as I go. I finally found out how the transmitter output is fed to the antenna wire and that part is a bit complicated to figure out, as I only have photos of it. I need to find a ceramic masthead and a guide cone for the rudder to make molds off of at some point.
