Does anyone know what the wall thickness is for the upper and lower longeron tubing for a 1953 tripacer? The OD for the longerons is .75 inch.
My guess is that its .035 but would like to order all the tubing I need before cutting into the fuselage.
Also, does anyone know the wall thickness for the .5 inch tubing which makes up the cross bracing for a 1953 tripacer.
As a final question, I know in 1953 Piper used some 4130 chromoly in the tripacer fuselage. Does anyone know whether the longerons and cross bracing were simply mild steel or 4130.
Thanks for your help!
