[ARC5] Aluminum conduit needed

[Taigh Ramey]

It looks like we have found the R-8/ARN-8 marker beacon receiver we were
looking for. At least photos are coming and we hope to work out a trade.
Thanks for that.

 

We are going forward with building the wiring harnesses for the APS-3 radar
set for our museum’s 1945 Lockheed PV-2D Harpoon. To do so we will need the
flexible aluminum conduit in long lengths for some of the sizes. Do any of
you know where we could find some surplus conduit? 

 

The specification is AN-WW-C-561 or Mil-C-6136 TYPE I which is a
straightforward aluminum conduit covered with an aluminum braid for crimp or
roll formed type terminals.

 

We are in need of the following ID sizes and lengths. 

 

3/8”       50 feet 

½”           40 feet 

5/8”       80 feet 

¾”           20 feet 

1”            60 feet

 

We have found some current production conduit with really healthy prices so
we are hoping to find some good old surplus stuff that has been hanging
around for a worthy project like this. Have you seen any in your secret
parts warehouses?

 

Thanks for any help,
