'Although a very difficult decision, I am seriously considering putting N4263S on the market. 63S is a TEMCO built 1946 F24-W46 with around 2700 airframe hours. This A/C is highly customized and one of the only flying Jacobs 755B2(275hp)powered examples that I know of. The engine has approx 65 SMOH ...

'Just posted a few new photos of F-24 N4263S in the albums section if anyone is interested. These are all from local fly-ins attended this year. Have another one to attend this Saturday. Sure would like to see others update their albums with project progress or just photos of them out enjoying their ...

'Didn't get any photos JP. Did you place them in one of the albums?
Anyway ... if it is a Jake mount it was built by Serv-Aero. But they have built hundreds of unique mounts for different applications. I talked to the deceased owners son several weeks ago and he mentioned to me that when his dad ...

'Hey Guys ... Just created an album and posted a few of the first flight photos from last weekend. Album is N4263S. What a great day! Hope you like them.'

'After two years of hard work ... I finally have my IA scheduled to come next week and sign the annual inspection on my F24w-46. I was reviewing the ADs for compliance and that has raised a few questions. I don't want to get him here and then get delayed for a silly non-compliance. Thankfully the ...

'Can anyone out there provide some photos of the correct brake line routing for the F24? Mine are a mess and I am in the process of replacing all of the lines from the master cylinders to the wheels. I have looked at a couple of 24s and they each had the lines routed differently. I not sure how the ...

'Anyone have some photos of the correct brake line routing for the F24? I have looked at three aircraft and each one has the lines done a little differently. My books only show the piece parts and not how they all go together. I would like to see it from the master cylinders to the gear legs. I am ...

'Has anyone tried oldmoparts.com ? This place sells vintage Plymouth, Dodge and Chrysler parts dating back to the early thirties. Their site shows that they have 37-41 Chrysler master cylinders for $165 each. Are the the same as our F24 cylinders ...? Might be worth investigating! I just rebuilt my ...
