Hello:

I was installing the side channel doublers in the Cruzer CH 750 I am helping to build. The one angle in the kit is damaged. This is not the first owner. I cannot find the 3/4 x 3/4 .093 angle anywhere but at Zenith and I need it now! Has anyone requested information from Zenith about using  the same angle but .125 that I can get from Aircraft Spruce? There was a mention in 43.13 that normally there is no problem going up 1 size in materials, but I have not received any response from Zenith yet. I did read that the .093 angle size is a proprietary size made only for Zenith which makes getting it an issue. If one is damaged and you change it with a larger size, do you need to change the other side? The angle at Aircraft Spruce has a slight radius in the inside corner and on the outside radius. The angle from Zenith seems to be a tight square corner extruded angle? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't be-leave in all the kits sold, this is the only kit that the angle has become an issue. Please help if you can. Thanks

the .093 is proprietary to Zenith and has not been found anywhere but from them. The common replacement is .125 and has been the approved substitute by Zenith. I would only change the damaged piece if the other side is already done, If I still had to do both sides I would probably change both. You can probably find the material from a local metal supplier if you have one locally as 6061 T6 is a standard stock material for any real metal supplier and it will be marked as such. Dan.
