BL Aviation out of Quebec Canada Just had mine overhauled great service, quick turnaround, good price.

Yes!!

The Koop scoope and door open during taxi if I have a knowledgeable passenger.

Did you try pulling the radio out of the tray and reinstalling? Usually that’s our first go to if we have radio trouble, it may be just a bad connection. It’s worth the effort and it has resolved radio issues for us in the past.

Great outcome for the pilot and passengers, anymore information on what may have been the cause?

I made a jig with a small 1/8” sheet of stainless steel I had laying around. I bent the steel around a pipe with a similar curve to what I needed, put the jig in my kitchen oven at 250f with a piece of polycarbonate on it waited 15 minutes it came out great. Trimmed it to shape drilled the holes and done.

I can machine a new shaft but was hoping to not “reinvent the wheel” and find a decent used shaft.

Still looking for a shaft! Also I went through the lasar site and didn’t find a listing for the air box shaft or the rebuild kit? Can someone point me in the right direction. would rather find a good used shaft but!

I have the gauge from my 63 just removed and functional when removed. Upgraded to an engine monitor. I can send a picture if your interested.

Does anyone one have a used or damaged air box laying around?

What did they replace it with?

I have the bearings and my flapper is good just need a shaft

My carb heat shaft is worn, need a replacement shaft.

Same issue we had in one of our aircraft, a 2 year old ACK ELT with the supplied “telephone” like cable from the ELT to the buzzer failed! Also keep an eye on the remote buzzer you have pictured, in our aircraft the battery was only 2 years old and it had started to leak and corrode the contacts.

At some point parts for 60 year old planes are going too become obsolete and or to cost prohibitive and owner manufactured parts are going to become the norm to keep those aircraft flying. Or more and more good aircraft are going to become scrap because parts are more valuable than a flying aircraft.
