The mast and boom on 215 are intact but missing spreaders. Any available?
Frank - If you cannot find any available they'd be very easy to fabricate...
They are just plain aluminum pipe. (Sorry I cannot provide the dimensions!) The hardest thing would be the tip, but you can easily 'improvise' for that...
I can see pressing the end of the pipe not-quite flat and grinding a groove for the wire, a hole for the retainer bolt at the bracket, a couple of small holes for the seizing wire... this would work just as well.
It maybe even cheaper to get a small piece of scrap 'Al' round stock to match the pipe and grind your very own genuine imitation spreader tip from scratch... It would not take long at all...
Franklin -
I'm pretty sure I can shoot you some measurements tomorrow.
Frank, haven't seen them around for awhile.
but I may have the originals here someplace.
I think the aluminum castings were of a piece, too.
But they were smeared with some black s....
They're yours.
Thanks....let me know.
