Thought this might be of interest to some. As far as I know Ken Brock was still making the wing attach fittings for Rand and probably some other metal parts also. If you need wing attach fittings or any other metal parts you might want to order them while Jeanette still has them.
They manufactured parts for several other aircraft also.

I was in Brock's back room yesterday scrounging a few parts I and was told that they need to vacate the building in 10 days. The shop was looking rather ghostly. It was also my understanding at Brock, again yesterday morning, that Aircraft Spruce has been trying to buy all remaining hardware and that as of yet, no deal has been made. It was a sad, empty feeling, talking with the guys in the shop. They are out of a job and for now we are out of a supplier. I forget the name of the guy I dealt with, some of you know him, very tall, thin, Bob I think. Nice guy. I think he said he has been there for over 30 years. Now he doesn't know where he will be working after next week. I for one gave him a hearty thanks for all that he and his co-workers have done for us over the years. Anyway, I for one encourage everyone to give them a personal call next week at 714.898.4366 to express your gratitude for all the hardware and support they have provided the Homebuilt community over the years, perfect or not, where few others have. A few calls from our Homebuilt community next week could make them feel really appreciated for their timeless contributions. Give em a call. 714.898.4366.
