I'm looking for a front left strut for my 7AC. Wag has is it for 419.00 new. Anyone have one or know anywhere, besides Wag or Univair, that I can get it.

Call Ed Jones at 580-767-9097 he just bought two new front struts for his Tri-Champ somewhere here in Oklahoma. I don't remember the exact price but it was around $200 a piece.

Thanks for everyones help. I've been doing a lot of thinking about this, and I've decided to just go with new sealed struts from Univar. Struts are pretty critical and if you make a bad decision it might be your last! At least thats what I told my wife when I gave her the bill. :?

Haven't seen many reports of Aeronca sturts failing but what every makes you happy and more importantly what you can get past the wife. I could never pull that one off.
