Thes struts can be easly welded if they are not totally destroied. Nosebowl and wingtips are very easy to repair too. Sidepanels are also very simpe and easy to fabricate.
The ower engine cowlis a bit tuff to make, but for that I have a mld and can make it from Fiberglass.

Rod,
wellcome to the Husky community. This realy is a great group of people.
As for the lower cowl bowl tubing. I removed it. Then replaced it with a foam and made 3 layers of fiberglass over the foam. Much lighter and more strength. It is completly stupid to use a metal tube / full rod in that part of the plane.

I've got a set of struts from an early A-1A that were slightly bowed from being strapped too tightly on a truck. Don't know if the P/Ns are the same.
