George, I got caught on this a while back. Only members with higher privileges like moderators can see the membership numbers and that is only you, Dale and me.
The only why anyone else knows one is a TIC170A member is they have an avatar. (unless they erased it).
Runerider, your fling wing eagle eyes are not going bad. George thinks Helicopter Pilot is an oxymoron because he's not been able to pilot a helicopter yet more and more of us seem to have had no problem.

How does $25 sound? I'll ship. Or, if you'd like I'll run out to the airport and measure them.
We may have to take you up on that. Especially with the thickness of the inside piece. If you have time, it would be awesome to know the dimensions though.
Outside: 0.032 x 1 inch; Inside: 3/16 x 31/32 Through Hole spacing: 5 inches
Note that the outside "piece" is actually 2 pieces; from the top end has a doubler (spotwelded on mine) down to the first screw hole. The bottom end is single thickness and ties in to the outside of the retaining strip along the bottom.

3/16 thickness seems amazing! Could you mean 3/32 ?

3/16 +/- a few mils.
