Hello all,

Many of you have PM'd me regarding when the hardware portion of the store /warehouse will be opened to the public. Now that we have the first 75-100K lbs unloaded (900K to go!) and somewhat organized, everyone is welcome to stop by and dig through the boxes to see if they can make use of any of the hardware.
Most of you have been asking for warbird hardware in "CAD 1" which we now have about 5K lbs of on site. These lots are dated from 1938 through 1952 out of Lockheed , Vega/ Boeing, Douglas, and Consolidated.
Small amounts of No American and Northrop too...
The total lot includes parts from 1938 up to 1994 out of an aircraft hardware depot in here L.A.

I will post in this topic thread when we come across various N.O.S warbird hardware that may be hot.

Thanks for all the help in identifying the hardware and thanks to WIX for letting us sell here....

Dave,

Saturdays we are here too. (soaking in Ben Gay from all the lifting) :lol:

I swear I'm going through tennis shoes every 10 weeks. I keep squishing out the soles in my Nike's from carrying boxes around.

You are welcome any time, just call first.
In about 25 days we are going to make a huge push to get to the 100K lbs mark of sorted bolts, nuts and rivets...that would be a good time. Right now we are in the process of putting up more lights so we can see better.

Also someone PM'd me that you referred my way and I lost the number. A crew chief needing some aluminum bolts for a B-17 in the C.A.F ? possibly

part numbers AN4DD, AN5DD, & AN6DD
multiple lengths
we found a few.......... new in the long term storage bags out of burbank

PS A B-25 ride might be nice someday
:idea:

Tom,

I'll contact Spanner about those bolts you referenced. He was searching for some fasteners a few weeks ago, and I think they may be what you listed. I'll see to it he gets the message.

You left your gold card here on the counter when you left.
I'm sure someone here on WIX could find a use for it.

Just kidding..........
