Like a number of other builders, no luck sourcing 1-1/4 x 7/8 x 0.095 4130N tube and therefore thinking about forming from 0.100-inch 4130N sheet with a press-tool.
Before I go this way, I have half a set of parts in a Starduster Too restoration project and they are all very uniform and precisely made. Quite possibly an excellent builder in the past, but it does raise the question whether the original parts as-specified on the plans were available from a factory-built aeroplane? Or has anybody tooled up already to make the parts?
I guess a question for Dave Baxter, if he would be so kind.
Many thanks!
