'Hi Jon
I am trying to scrub the list of parts I have to sell. We have consumed some and sold a bunch as well.
We are ready to start the rebuild on the wings as our winter project, so if you or any other Fairchild memeber has ideas, specifics or "oh my god, don't forget to check this" comments that sure would be helpful.
 
I think I have a couple NOS Fuel select Valves with the attachement for the fuel lines that will be extra.
Let me check this weekend when I go out to the hangar.
Will try to get a new list created as soon as possible
 
thanks
Keep 'Em FLying

'Are you trying to use the original fittings and hardware? I had worries about mine, especially the compression ring. I bought some compression rings that are normally used on AC units. (they have a double taper) I used a lathe and cut off one of the tapers. That gave me what looked like the original ones. Cutting off one taper works, but you need to be painfully slow about it. I did inner sleeve the compression ring with some steel rod, and gripped the ring with the head stock.
