65 cent Clecoes

Postby BobDz » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:27 am

In my search for parts and pieces, I came across Pegasus Auto Racing in New Berlin, Wisconsin. Talked to them on the phone, and they were very helpful. I was going to stop in to buy some "oops" rivets, since I didn't want to pay $10 in shipping for $6 of rivets.

Then....
I saw that they have 3/32 clecoes for 65 cents. Now the shipping cost is worth it.

When you're searching for parts and pieces for experimental aircraft, I've had great success in the boating world, rec vehicle world, and auto racing world.

Which brings a question up, how many clecoes do you need to build an airplane?

Which is a variation of an old woodworking adage...

For any given project, how many clamps do you need?

Every clamp you own, plus one!

It's more like every one you have plus 150 for clecoes.

I bought 100 extra of the silver and 200 of the copper and still probably could have used a few more especially of the copper there are a handful of items that you wait on installing till final fit and they end up eating the copper clecos.

The service from Pegasus was phenomenal! A little over 24 hours and my order arrived. Cheapest shipping option.

I've found many items cheaper than Spruce, and my shopping cart is once again full.
