This is an attempt to make an exhaustive hardware list for the Patrol. I think accuracy is very high.
Post #1-16 has hardware organized by Plans Page number. For example, if a builder wants to know what size bolt is used to marry up the two trim horns on plans p.22 she/he will find it on post #11.
"But how many AN3-3A bolts should be ordered?" Post #18-#28 has hardware organized by TYPE. This is what I would order if I were a starting a Quick Build Kit.
There is an advantage of not ordering anything until you need it. The downside is the delay and cost of shipping.
Warning....if you order a quick build kit, then blindly order the hardware on this list, you will overwhelmed when everything arrives. Researching and developing this list took hundreds of hours. I knew what every piece was for, and was still overwhelmed when everything arrived. Organizing EVERYTHING effectively solved my concerned feelings. So, I recommend you spend a lot of time understanding what you are getting, and where every piece goes before placing a hardware order. Then make a plan to get organized.
So, Coming up with this list was very educational. You are cheating yourself if you just copy the list and place an order. This list still does not keep me from placing orders regularly for materials. But its a nice start to making a hardware collection. Cross check my list with the list Mark Goldberg publishes. If conflict exists, go with Marks.
-I did not include any fuel line hardware, or brake line hardware.
-I use some codes on my list. MMC stands for McMaster Carr. ACS stands for Aircraft Spruce. PN stands for Part Number.
-I think Microfasteners.com has the best countersunk machine screws....black oxide 100 degree so I gave that information on my list.
-I did not give any info on blind rivets. Those buggers can be hard to source...mine came from a variety of places. I think having 8 kinds of blind rivets would be ideal....two materials (AL, or Stainless) two diameters (3/32 and 1/8) two kinds of heads (domed or 100 degree countersunk) in two lengths (less than .062 grip, and .062-.125 grip)
