Hi Paul,
I made a bad construction in the first place, so I re-made my wing stays in April. I ma now very happy with them. Here what I have done: http://vouchtroadster.blogspot.se/20...1_archive.html You can use the translation function directly on the blog (right menu). It is translated by Google, far from being perfect, but understandable... ... ah no, sorry, I forgot you were fluent in French Good luck!

I have standard book design wing stays. They've broken at the weld seam between the tube and the steel band 3 or 4 times. Each time I just redid the weld and promissed myself to build sturdier ones soon.
http://locost.lt/download/file.php?id=818&mode=view Sylvain, so how are your new ones different from standard? Thicker plates?

Recommendation was to use 5mm instead.

2015-04-26_10-10-25 by Voucht71, sur Flickr As the books recommends, I also made a "t" cut on the strip, so they go into the round tube, and they don't "pull" on the weld: the strips are naturally blocked in position into the tube, the welds just maintain them in place. 2015-04-25_10-18-37 by Voucht71, sur Flickr All other plates (WS1, 2, 3) are also 5mm thick, and I used 20mm tube and not 19mm, but I don't think it makes much difference. In order to make the tubes easier to place the lower plate WS1 (I couldn't go anywhere with the book's design), I made WS1 bigger and triangular, so I could place each tube independently on the plate on the right position, and each tube rests on the plate, and not against each other as on the book design. Book_and_Me by Voucht71, sur Flickr It might be overkilled, but it is steady. 2015-04-24_11-17-41-b by Voucht71, sur Flickr
