Default Blanik L23 Pneumatic Strut Part Needed

Pretty sure this is the same part that was used on the Blanik L-13. I know there are a few of them around that are hangar queens due to the AD. Try that resource.

Our nitrogen filled pneumatic gear strut (shock absorber) on a Blanik L23 is flat. It appears that the fill valve is defective. Blanik America says that the factory is on summer vacation and it will be weeks to get the part we need.



Here is a picture of the part in question == https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...2012.56.59.jpg. FYI - What appears to be a schrader valve in the assembly is not.



Does anyone have a replacement fill valve or the entire strut assembly for sale?



Please contact me at 847-844-8776 or via email jhderosa at yahoo.com.



Thanks, John
