            Spoke with Larry FOGG about the magnesium pieces.  He has not had a chance to speak with Paul FIOCCA yet.  However, he made a trip to the plant last week and collected several coupons of aluminium for the CANMET melt test of GARSTANG’s.  He asked about magnesium, and they have no spare parts.  Their pieces are specially cast as they need them, and they have none left over.  So, BOEING is unable to supply the material.

            Sent e-mail off to Sandro SIRIU at SR Technics asking for any new or old piece that they may have.  Awaiting a reply.

            FOGG pointed out that the rudder pedals from the cockpit are still relatively intact and could be used.  This will take a specific request to TSB, but if Sandro cannot supply something, then we will have to use one of them.  One should be suitable, as eight wires can be positioned so that the wires all end up on the part.
