Ready to make the F-996B spacers and the F-996C reinforcement angles

I went a wild hunt for the material to make the F-996B spacers. I finally found a part that I thought might be it after it was cut in half. Being uncomfortable with this, I posted my question and a picture of the part on VansAirForce.net. In a very short time I received my answer from Alan about where to locate the correct pieces. Turns out the parts where in Bag 1982, with the necessary width already precut. Here's where I got confused. The drawing says to make the material out of "0.125 2024-T3 Alclad". Bag 1982 lists the material as "AS3-125x0.75x4.25". Hmm... me thinks that is just a little bit confusing... eh? Yeah, I know, I'm supposed to know how to translate everything. But wouldn't it be easier for the builder to list the same name in both places?? Anyway, thanks to Alan, I have my answer. Alan, you da' man!
