When I took my project apart I pulled the brace wires off, they looked good and put them in a box. Now, I am trying to pre assemble my Champ before I cover it and I want to get the correct hardware etc. The an665 fork ends on each end of the brace wires are rusted to a patina, so they need to be replaced. I went to pull them off the wires and one galled on the wire and would not come off. (guessing it was most likely forced on the wire to begin with) When I finally cut the fitting off the threads on the wire are not good. So, I pulled the print. Oh, my wires are stainless steel, and the print shows chrome plated steel. I would like to replace the one damaged stainless brace wire but have no idea where it came from. I can't seem to locate anyone that sells them in stainless. So, the question is does anybody know where the stainless ones come from? or where I can get another?
Thanks!

Re: Tail brace wires
Ah, thank you very much Richard. I found them. Univair's website is not very user friendly.
