Re: Made my own trim tabs from scratch :-D

no going to use Lectrotab.com there actuators, i actually didnt get the hinges from mcmaster i went to a local suprlus place and they had the hinges i was looking for. $16 so did that instead of $80, but if someone wants a pair made id have to get them from Mcmaster

yah they are great, next day shipping since the distribution center is about 45 minutes away. we use them for all our fastener needs and other such items for our dyno trailers that we build. its amazing how much stuff they have on there.

Fortunatley for me; I have an account with McMaster Carr. I get almost everything from there; and they have a wharehouse about 15min away from me
