WIX-W16

Postby GordonTurner » Sun Mar 15, 2015 1:36 pm

So, the -04 SHIM PLATE on the plans calls out .060" 6061-T6 aluminum sheet.

The only thing I can find from my kit that seems close is a 12x12 sheet of .063" 6061-T6.

Is that the right piece? Is the 12x12 piece for something else? Anybody know?

Thanks for your help, Gordon Turner

In case somebody else has the same question, reply from Sonex tech support:

Hi Gordon,

The .063" is the correct material to use.
