Looking for a place that sells a wide selection of Robart items. Mainly interested in the smaller Robostruts. Most places (Tower, Quantum, Bruckner, Chief...) have only a few items, not the ones I need. Can anyone help? Thanks, JD.

JD,

Robart sells direct, but only by phone. The number is listed on their web site.

Robarts prices can be a little high tho, when ordering directly from them. If you go to the Toledo shows, and can wait until then, they sell them at much lower prices.

JD , I know you did not ask for this but becareful with the Robo strut . You will need a low RPM Drill press with carbide bits to drill the set screws in the Strut . Yes i know its hard to believe that after you spend a minimum on a set of struts ($70) you will then have to drill the holes to hold them on the gear leg . This is when I switched to CJ and went with real struts that work from day one .

Good luck , if you dont have the above equipment , try home depo , they may do it for you

You dont need any special drill bits. Any drill press and good quality bit work fine.

They use 4130 chrome moly steel, perfectly drill-able with any good drill and lube.

Jeff dont know what we did wrong but any good drill bits with lube did not work ! I am not an expert on the materials used , all I know is that I took it to home depo where a buddy works and witched him burn out the bit at low rpms with lube . he then went to the carbide bit to get it to work . If you email Robart they will tell you to do this with a carbide bit on a slow RPM drill press (if and when they answer )

The order is in. $115.75 for a couple of their smaller Robostruts and a pair of 3 1/4" scale wheels. Well at least I can say all that cash went to a US company for a change.

I'll keep that in mind about the carbide tip, LDM. Thanks.

I have had good success ordering from FTE. Frank Tiano Enterprises. He used to offer a %10 discount. It has been a few years, but he gave me a good deal on Robarts for my Yellow P-47.
