Gulf Coast Wing has B17 spare parts:
We are going to go First Come First Served by reply through either WIX or email:
don_price56@hotmail.com or 713-743-1391 (CDT) or 713-988-2765
Once it has been determined who is buying what AND what the shipping arrangements/costs will be we will send the address to send the funds.
WE CAN SHIP WORLDWIDE.
ALL proceeds go to either getting the Texas Raiders flying again OR making sure she has a proper hangar.
All checks (cashier or otherwise) must clear and should be made out to:
Gulf Coast Wing- CAF
1 pair of main landing gear with axles and the rear mounting brackets- BUT NO TRUNNION PINS rusty, crusty and need rebuilding- $5,000.00 for the pair
2 Main landing gear Wheels (some corrosion, non-airworthy but great for static display.) These are B17 wheels, NOT B29… The Texas Raiders converted over to B29 wheels - $750 each
4 Wheel flanges- $100.00 each
4 used engine mounts - tube steel - $500 each

2 Original manufacture Tokyo tank fuel cells- Can’t guarantee these, but they are unused- $200.00 each
2 Ammo boxes-waist gunner’s stations (these are the E and F model according to my Signet Book) ORIGINAL plywood boxes that mount to the floor and have the aluminum brackets to bolt to the fuselage – $500.00 each
Gulf Coast Wing will be auctioning two items on Ebay. (We have had a lot of interest in these so it seems like the best way to go for selling them.)
I will also announce them on WIX HANGAR.
1 Throttle Quadrant. The unit that sits between the pilot and co-pilot with the throttle, prop and mixture levers, as well as the pulleys. In used but serviceable condition. DOES NOT INCLUDE the Magneto panel.
