I'm a new guy and just visiting here to try to find out what I have. A couple years ago I bought an old attachment from a carnival ride that was in the aluminum scrap pile at our local recycling yard. It may be that I even rode in it when I was a little kid in the early 60's. The carnies in this part of the world had a ride that was supposed to simulate riding in a bomb. It was a large rotating frame with seats for kids suspended underneath on 10 or 12 foot long cables. The ride would spin and centrifigal force would swing the seats outward for a couple minutes then they would stop and load up a different bunch of kids. The interesting part was the seats. They were made from what I believe were originally some sort of drop tanks or possibly bomb cases. I got it to use for the body of a leaning wheel sidecar (sidecar wheel is on paralell linkage to lean with the bike which allows the bike to lean either direction in a turn) for my Harley Softail custom. I'll try to post a couple photos and if anyone can tell me what this was and what plane it fit, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks, Gene
