'Jim,
 You could also try azairframe.com in the event you need to have a new strut fabricated.

HI ALL
HELP! FORWARD WING LIFT STRUT NEEDED
MY SEARCH STILL GOES ON! I  POSSIBLY FOUND A SET IN TEXAS, BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THEM TILL OCTOBER.
 
DOES ANYONE HAVE A SERVICEABLE / FLYABLE SET OF F24 LIFT STRUTS? I HAVE SEEN SOME PICTURES AND SPOKE WITH A FEW FOLKS, BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD SET OR DO NOT WANT TO PART WITH THEM. 
 
CAN THESE BE REPAIRED? THEN ORIGINAL 1944 UC-61 MANUAL DOES NOT GIVE ANY REPAIR PARAMETERS.
 
I TRIED SOME LOCAL METAL FABRICATORS HERE IN THE MIDWEST, BUT NONE ARE ABLE TO GET TEH .95 THICK TUBE WITHOUT SPECIAL ORDERING HUNDREDS OF FEET AT A TIME. ECONOMICALLY UNREALISTIC.
 
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATE!
