Thanks for the tips. I might do a "Professional Mexican Repair" (Don't laugh, it is possible ) with local parts, as I wan't to avoid high shipping charges (Each time I order something I end up paying up to 50 dollars for shipping). I think this repair should fall on the 5-7 dollars category. I'll try to change the nylon screws and the wingnuts, and use du-bro wing screws... They are much easier to get down here, and they should work as well. I'll drive in a few more minutes to the LHS to buy them and start the repairs so that I can take my plane to Acapulco for the weekend. If everything is O.K. I might be posting some pictures of the repair between tomorrow and Friday.
