Corsair Wheelchocks

[Cherrybomber13]

You know you have to have them! Every well dressed Corsair should be fitted out with a pair of Stratford CV Wheel Chocks.
Seriously has anyone here seen one of these? Of have on in the garage/hanger? I would love to get some measurements or a diagram to make some up.

Most of the Corsair photos I have they're just using a big rock

Jack,
I believe these were a factory option, but you needed to get the appearance package with pinstripes and the cigarette lighter installed.

There are a few of those floating around GBR. Make sense because the field used to be owned by Corsair test pilot Walt Kolazda.

You know the wheel diameter and from that you can calculate the approximate size to build them if you can't find any....

i believe these were stateside items prob. lost along the way to the pacific. I've never seen them in my travels but if they were somewhere, they would be right in stratford. MAYBE, Harland Avazzie knows where to track some down
