tail support wires

[Terry Bryson]

I am missing the upper tail brace wires.  I have the lower and they are the streamline type.  What are other restorers using for the upper wires and what is a good source?  Thanks.

Thanks Andy, I will check it out.  I have found that the tail brace wire from a Citabria fits the Porterfield perfectly.  The wire is 48 9/16 with rolled threads.  I just recently attached one side and haven't had a chance to check everything out exactly but first indications look good.

My FP-65 has streamlined wires. I think there's a forum posting in the archives that gives the lengths of top and bottom tail brace wires.
