    I saw you are setting up a shop in Gig Harbor. I have a pair of surplus flaps from a C182P. One has a crushed inboard rib. I am looking to get rid of them but figure they have more than scrap value of the Aluminum. PM if interested. I am in Kenmore. I also have a SPW IO550 engine mount and some other parts.
