We have a new to us F-16 Falcon, which is great, but we are missing a part for the mast hinge, which has come pretty close to disaster. The stainless cup in the mast base sits on a round stainless ball on the beam. There should be some sort of U shaped clip to form a hinge that keeps the mast base on the ball during raising and lowering, but we don't have it. Hence, the mast has left the base at a couple of bad times.
Does anyone know where to get the U clip? Or maybe who makes this mast step? Or even, have a photo of one so maybe I could fabricate one?
