I seem to be missing part# F1208A (wear-plate).

Is there anyone out there that can provide me with dimensions please? It seems not to be flight-critical and I guess I can fabricate this one myself in stead of asking VAN's to send it to me. Might save weeks (the Netherlands...)
Thanks in advance!
 
According to the parts list, that part is made from .125" UHMW SHEET (polyethylene). It supports control cables so they do not rub on the aluminum rib. Look for a plastic part. If you need to make one, I doubt the shape is critical.
 
UHMW

For those like me who cry out for the meaning of acronyms...UHMW is an acronym for Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene. We used to call it "poor man's Teflon" as it can be used in many applications in place of Teflon.
