One comment - If I read the above correctly some gliders do not have any safeties on their hotelier fittings at all??? Whoa! The FAA AD was released 27 years ago (revised 22 years ago) so I would have hoped that everyone had this uber-safety-critical fix implemented DECADES ago.

92-CE-41-AD; Amendment 39-10080; AD 97-08-06 R1

Thanks Scott for that additional information. Safety wire does sound like the "best" option at the moment.

John, this Phoebus glider I'm referring to has been in a hanger loft for 19yrs, and hasn't flown since 1997, and this is the one AD that hasn't been complied with yet.

John F - Well that makes more sense!

Some sources for Wedekind Sleeves (and other types of fasteners?) is shown on slide 22 of http://aviation.derosaweb.net/wedeki...stallation.pdf. Note that this list may have over time become inaccurate. Let me know if anything needs updating.
