Craig at Griswold Aviation in Marshall Michigan just replaced some leading edge and ribs. Give him a call he can tell you where he sourced them

Interesting to hear about a repair from metal worker.

How about one of the aircraft salvage businesses. Like Wentworth? Texas Air Salvage lists a 337 parting out.

Barnstormers lists a 337 being parted out.

Something in the back of my mind says there's a 337 salvage yard out west: Arizona/New Mexico. Don't know how to find it right now.

Thanks for all the input. My mechanic was in fact able to repair the damage just as one of you indicated. 3weeks to the day.

Your mechanic did a great job! I don't think the "average" A&P would have been able to make that repair.
