Posted 7 May 2020 (edited) Had a hard landing and bent my spreader bars. Forward one is not too bad, but the rear has a dent in it and I think cannot be straightened. I saw AC Spruce has aluminum wing struts, but it looks like the minor axis is 1" where I measure mine as 1.5". See the pics attached.Hoping someone has one or both of these for sale or can point me to somewhere that sells this material. If so send me a message. Thanks Edited 8 May 2020 by kitfoxjunky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 11 May 2020 (edited) Carlson streamline aluminum tubing, Thanks for the info. Just ordered two of the Carlson heavy duty struts. The dimensions look identical to the spreader bars on the Aerocet 1100 floats.Pretty good pricing too. Cheers. Edited 11 May 2020 by kitfoxjunky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
