Aluminum Stringers

If you can go in through the tail you might can fix it.

[QUOTE=Steve Pierce;27846]I just fitted up a set on a PA22/20 yesterday. I used the 1232-162 stringers from Univair. They are .890" tall and .380" wide. The original wood stringers we took out o our Tri-Pacer measured about 7/8" by about 3/8". The 1231 stringers John posted about are .508" tall and probably easier to work with.../QUOTE]

Can someone re-post the pictures of the Univair stringers?

Also, I've noticed that on the upper side stringer on the passenger side has a pretty long span of 36" the aluminum box stringers (aircraft spruce) I'm currently looking at are reasonably stiff vertically over this span, but they are pretty wiggly laterally. I'm worried about the fabric pulling them out of alignment. How do the univair stringers fair over that 36" span? Does anyone have any suggestions? I guess I could add another stringer post like the pilot side, but that is not the way piper did it on the passenger side.

BTW: the original wooden stringer was pretty bent when I removed it.

We would like to see the pictures of the stringer installation if they are available. Especially at the aft end at the vertical tube. Thanks
