Wing support wires

Post by n3833v »

In the wing of my 48, it has crosswires and they are a 10-28 lock nut. I'm told these are unusual and I need to find 4 which are nylock type. Any info where or how to find these would be appreciated. I am told Wag Aero has the wires but not the lock nuts
Thanks for the info.

The ragwing IPC (figure 3) shows each wire having 2 nuts: one p/n 0422211-2 and one p/n AN365-836. I presume one is an adjusting nut,and one is a lock-nut. Does the tail-end of the AN part number indicate an 8-36 size and pitch?

The "dash" number following the AN365 (which indicates an elastic stop nut) is indeed the thread size and pitch. -1032 is a #10 size (3/16") with 32 threads per inch.
This won't be the first time a "typo" has been noted in these parts catalogs. I don't believe there is any such animal as an AN365-836 nut. It probably is an AN365-832 nut. That can be confirmed with any AN nut with 832 threads by trying it "on for size" on the drag wire.

Wing Wire Nuts

Post by N2540V »

The outer wing wires (0422008-4) use two AN365-832 jamb nuts.
The wires are upsized to 1/4 under an STC (sae0422008-4). Univair automatically sends you the upgraded wires. Problem is no nuts.....

The inner wing wires (0422008-5,-6) are 1/4 wire and use a 0422211-2 elastic stop nut.

These took me a few months to find.
They are a yellow chromate cad plated 1010 elastic stop nut.
They were manufactured by ESNA

The ESNA part number is F22NM-128
I found a supply at FREUNDLICH Supply Co., Inc.
