Hi David

Thanks for asking. I really need some assymetric throttle/mix levers for the dual control set up, the lamp that mounts to the inst panel combing, correct floor mount for the flare pistol on the front floorboard. Minor bits n bobs really. I have some NOS AOP-9 bits for sale over in the UK if anyone is interested (some cowls and seat cushons…maybe more) Oh and a spare set of AOP6 wings! All in UK as I don’t need to freight parts I don’t need back to NZ.

Sorry to divert….. but you can email me on [email]abgalbraith@clear.net.nz[/email]

OK back to tyres!

Cheers
Anthony

Without wishing to divert the thread whats still needed for your T.7 ?

Hi guys, this is interesting.

I have original Dunlop 6.00 x 6.5 tryes on my Auster T7 rebuild. She never saw civvie use and these were original RAF stock. However when I picked up some new 6.00 x 6.5 they are noticeably skinnier??? I don’t really want to have to use them as the original RAF ones look beefier and ‘correct’ where as these new civvie ones look a little anorexic…why would that be?

I guess I could use these ones, but after all the effort I am going to for a stock rebuild, it would be nice to have the right ones.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers
Anthony
