Hey, Ben! Aviation Electronics Tech 2nd class '66-'70 here. Chip is correct, I went to Detray on 11th in Independence. Good folks. Due to inflation and environmental regs, cost is higher than back in the 80's down in Houston, but still less expensive than all new hardware. Cost for everything, brackets, latches, rods, nuts, bolts and etc. was $175. That's $25 higher than when I had it done May of last year. Of course, they had a fire since then and the TV stations were crawling all over them.
