50 bucks? Pretty good deal

My guess is they would need to be OPP where you requested them made to the OEM spec and the proper paperwork returned to you as documentation (which I believe the paperwork is there). Those are a great price and there has been lots of discussion about them on the forum.

I started a post about my 20+ year old pucks where the founder (?) of this company chimed in.  Lots of people more knowledgeable than I weighed in.  Do we have knowledge of any MSers that have actually installed them and can offer a PIREP?

Those have been mentioned here in other threads.   IIRC they seem to have a good reputation.   The markings are certainly unique, but apparently they're functional and a lot of effort went into duplicating the characteristics of the rubber.

Anybody who's serious about it should probably find the other threads.   I'm too lazy.

Let’s invite @Gert to visit...

Gert has been part of a couple of discussions around here... and for the Mites that really need some donuts too...

He is capable of matching existing performance of current donuts... and is a builder of other aircraft parts...

Alan, want to put a set on one of your Mooneys? I’ll lend you a hand...  
 

For OPPs... looks like a low risk, high savings, kind of opportunity...

PP thoughts only, not a mechanic...

Best regards,

Group buy?

Might get a better deal on shipping & handling, but at $50.00 + $10.00 each is still half of what they are from Lords

I am (still) working on convincing my A&P/IA to approve them for my K; he's a big proponent of OPP so I expect an OK, just getting a hold of him is challenging. Will post a report when all is said and done.
