• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Gentlemen,
Locating the correct hardware is one of the jobs I dislike the most so I probably throw up my hands a little sooner than normal :mad:
I am installing adjustable rod ends on one end of the support tube from the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer to the lower fuselage. I am using 5/8x.035 wall 4130 tube because I have it.

I HAVE AN486-2P 1/4-28 internal thread clevis fork.
I NEED AN490 weldable rod end to fit the 5/8" tube with 1/4-28 male thread

OR - - -

I HAVE AN490 HT10P weldable rod end with 5/16-24 male thread
I NEED AN486 clevis fork with female 5/16-24 threads.

I have searched everywhere on-line tonight and found neither of the above parts. Very frustrating

The first person supplying the correct information wins a free ride in my AcroSport 1 :)

Thank you
