Rib Alignment Tool

Post by ak2711c »

So I have been trying to do some research on this tool and have found some youtube videos and articles written on it. Here is a link to the article http://www.generalaviationnews.com/2009 ... ol-debuts/
Aircraft Spruce used to carry it but no longer does and the phone # and web address in the article are no good anymore. I can't seem to find anyone that is still selling this tool. So I am hoping somebody on here has some helpful info for me. Thanks,
Shawn

I think we've talked about this before (what haven't we.)

If one could be found it might be a good item for the association to have and loan it out to members. I can't imagine any one person, unless they are doing a lot of restoration work, needing one of these tools more than one or two times in a lifetime.
