I am the fairly new owner of a
1955 Flying Cloud (yea!) and am trying to put together what looks to be the original canvas awning that is in great shape. I have all the poles that are needed but there are three missing "
tension adjusting spring assemby". These attach the adjustable frame poles to the rafter bars and the springs keep it pushed in against the camper. They are pieces possibly about 5-7" long (???) and made up of a tension adjusting rod w/hex nut and compression spring.
I have contacted Astrup (which is now TriVantage) with no luck. Also tried Vintage Trailer Supply. I have all the original diagrams and pictures that came with the awning so if anyone thinks they might have the missing pieces I could fax the instruction sheet to be sure.
I gues my next step would be to order a completely new set of poles/frame--but I hate to waste all these parts!
Thanks for any help!
