"Iam working with Clive of Edwards Brothers Aviation in the UK
We are renovating a PBY Catalina to flight status and we have a problem
Someone in the past has drilled the Lift Struts to add ties and used steel bolts which has corroded the Aluminium beyond Airworthy repair
The struts can be cosmetically repaired and painted for museum use
The big question is do you know of anyone who may have some airworthy struts we could have
Even do a swop with a museum for ours
We also have loads of new and used parts for the Catalina should we be able to help you at all
The part no’s are
2 of 28W039 (A) or 2 x 28W10039 (B) for the Port and Stbd Front
2 of 28W040 Port and Stbd rear
If you can help in any way to get this lovely old aircraft flying again it would be very much appreciated
Regards Dave"
