Purchasing Parts in Charlotte NC

[sailvi767]

Does anyone have suggestions for a place to pick up aircraft parts near Charlotte NC. I wish we had a aircraft spruce nearby! I am looking for general items such as AN bolts, gaskets, oil filters ect...

There is an AIRPART worldwide in Winston-Salem that carries most of the gaskets,filters and some hardware typicaly used, but that is still 85 miles from CLT. Cost to drive for you is probably more than the shipping cost to mail order.

I drive to RDU often so I will at least keep it in mind.

Thanks!

If your going to RDU, Aviall is in Morisville close to RDU airport. They tend to cater to the big maintenance shops, but they will still sell to us little guys. Some of their stuff needs to be bought in bulk (100-200pcs) like screws and nuts depending on size, but you can find a lot of stuff in homebuilt size quantities. I've bought proseal, alodine, aluminum, nuts and bolts from them.

They're no Aircraft Spruce, but they're local I still check them first before I order off the internet.
