Subject: [fairchildclub] Parts for a 1939 Fairchild 24 Ranger



I recently bought a 1939 Fairchild 24, with the Ranger engine. Although the plane was recently recovered, it has sat for a few years and needs some work done to it before it can fly again. I am looking for some parts, and was wondering if maybe someone could help point me in the right direction?

I know I need the following:

- High capacity lightweight alternator/generator for a Ranger engine.
- BRAKES: The aircraft currently has expander tube-type brakes, which are locked up. I either need parts for these, or a complete Cleveland conversion kit. Any recommendations?
- MAGNETOS, either rebuilt or new.

I have tried calling Chief, Univair, and Wag-Aero, but no one seems to have what I am looking for. The airplane and I are located in Monroe, Wisconsin - about 45 minutes straight south of madison, on the Illinois border.

Thank you very much for your time and any information you may have!!!!!
