Gear donut tool ??

[mike28w]

Hi guys,

 

  My sad story ......   The smoke in Idaho diminished enough yesterday for me to get my Mooney to my mechanic for it's annual.  

 

  I had planned to bite the bullet with this annual and get new landing gear donuts.  Lasar sells them and a month or so ago , they told me that they were about 2 weeks behind in sending out the tools

.

  Well, today , I was going to order the donuts and tools and have them sent to my mechanic.  Lasar has the donuts but the wait for the tools was 3 weeks to a month or so.....

 

  Does anyone know of another source for the tools ? ( I'd buy the donuts from them , too)  There was a fellow who used to rent aircraft tools , but he is closed due to illness.

 

  Suggestions would be greatly appreciated !  Thanks, mike

Thanks Mike,

 I'll have my gear tool back up and ready to ship out some time middle of next week. I had a fitting break on it so a little redeisgn is in order.

 Thanks again,

 David

  Thanks guys for the help and info !

 

 The folks at Wilmar ( Minnesota) were gracious to loan me the tools.  (They're obscenely expensive to replace, btw....)

 

 Thanks !!   mike
