Super Rebel sea fins

[Mike Kimball]

Does anybody know the dimensions of the sea fins? Looking at the pictures available on the MAM website it looks like they are simple aluminum plates at the ends of the horizontal stabs. They seem like they are something like 12 X 6 inch plates. I can't quite tell what angle they are set at either. I'm not sure the angle is critical. I want to do the horizontal stab service bulletin fix in the next day or so and I want to add the sea fins at the same time. I have enough scrap aluminum laying around that I can probably make my own fins. That'll save me time and money if someone can help with the details. I also wonder about the fin plate thickness. I'm guessing that they are probably 0.062 or a bit larger. Anybody know?

I also want to thank everyone that responded with info about radiators for my V8 installation. Great stuff. Thanks!

I've got a set, come on by and measure them. ;-) They were in the shop when
you set the rivets by the door the other day... just 30 feet away.
