 |
|
I am interested in seeing if a decent experimental/homebuilt market exists for AN155-16S & AN155-32S turnbuckle barrels. I can produce these new barrels, which are gaged to ASME/ANSI B1.3-2007 specs, for about $3.50 a barrel in quantities of (1000) and still make a small profit. Spread the word and reply to aircraftturnbuckles(at)yahoo.com with your thoughts and suggestions. These turnbuckles will be manufactured in Waukesha, Wisconsin, by a company that has been very successful at KEEPING products made here in the good ‘ol USA!

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> [quote] Q's and A's:
Are they made of brass or stainless? yes? Great.
Do they have both left-and right-hand threads? Yes? Great.
Break strength better than 600 pounds? Yes? OK. As I recall, a genyuwine turnbuckle has a break strength of near 800 pounds, which is past empty weight of a 650, and more than any human can exert. Overkill.
Can the customer also get eyelet or clevis ends at a good price with purchase? Very good. One stop shopping for convenience is always good.
A side thought. You can get aluminum turnbuckles at Lowe's, with a break strength of 700 pounds for a couple of bucks.
Come in at 50% or so from Aircraft Spruce (haven't checked their prices yet) and should have a winner. I'd say, try a batch, and advertise in several builders' lists, and see what happens.
