Default Pica still in business??

I need a set of landing gear wires for an older Pica 60 size Spitfire and can't find them anywhere.
Any Ideas where to find a set?

Thanks!!

Cox has taken over Pica and is producing some of the Pica kits. They were at the Toledo show but I'm not sure if they are making replacement parts or not. You might want to contact Robart, they might have something that will work or can make it. Do you have the old set?

Thanks Harry,
Yeh, I have the old set but they are pretty bent up.

Make your own. Buy some Piano wire in the same gage and bend it to the correct shape. From talking to Pica at Toledo this past weekend they are not supplying parts for past kits. They are producing ARF's now from some of the old line of kits but that's all.
