Mooneymite Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Every annual, I end up replacing a tinnerman, or two on the doghouse. I've just about gone through my supply of the old style tinnerman U clips. All I can find now are the type sold by Aricraft Spruce and others which are a lot larger and thicker. The new style leave air gaps in the top of my doghouse and I really don't like them. Does anyone know a source for the "old style" thin tinnerman U clip nuts? The middle picture shows the old type next to the new type. The other two pictures are of an old style tinnerman U nut. Edited October 20, 2016 by Mooneymite 1 Quote
cnoe Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 Mcmaster-Carr sells a fair variety of these. They have low-profile ones at http://www.mcmaster.com/#clip-on-nuts/=14om3nu Note that they are black phosphate finished though. The DA274-8-1 versions at Aircraft Spruce look a lot like what's in the picture. Chuck Quote
Mooneymite Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks, I'll check out McMaster-Carr. Quote
carusoam Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Aircraft spruce didn't carry the tiny ones that are on the top of the dog house. SInce I had my C I learned that you can call/email AS and they can try to source things from their suppliers that they don't have listed. Best regards, -a- Quote
