Thanks. It was originally solid Capri Blue and had been repainted twice. People seem to really like the color combo.

The P-51 was at a different air show that was at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum. The B-24 is one of only 2 that are in flying condition.

If anyone needs a set of these braces Larry helped me out and sold me a pair but since then my nationwide search has uncovered two more sets and an NOS single!

Same sheet metal screws that are used in the outer-inner fender and radiator baffling screws.

Thanks, I was wondering if someone had the actual size. I'm going to have to find new ones I guess. Or call a junk yard and ask them to send me a bunch of screws lol.

Pull one from the fender and take it to the hardware store. I think they are all the same size... Tedd

Actually I found out that most license plate bolts that are 1/4 are 14 pitch! I bought some and they fit the brace perfectly!
