PIK 20E main spar pin needed USA
Al,
Was that an apology? Didn't sound like an apology! You're gonna have to drop off more than the old one, depending on what you'd like a new one made of, it would be nice to have suitable material to chuck into the lathe. When you're looking, it should be shiny, silver, and preferably hard - - as your future may depend on it, it would be good to have the right stuff. Flying in the face of JJ's recommendation, it would be best to avoid pink material if possible. bumper wrote in message ups.com... It wasn't an oboe more like an 80yr old little old lady who had just eaten a can of beans!! (now everyone pucker your lips like your going to kiss and blow hard.... that was the sound) So disgusted at the distraction to the flight it was making I ripped it off and ejected it from the plane. However........ The Illustrious Mr Morgan did install an new version on the front cockpit of the DG1000 when we flew it last and I must say there was a small but noticeable lowering of noise in the cockpit (telling Leo stop complaining about the O2 level helped a lot too ) So if you have an aversion to wind noise and don't eat beans before flying then the Quiet vent MkII might just be the thing you need. There you go John..... now can you please turn me up a new spar pin, I will drop the old one off to you on Friday Regards Al On Jun 14, 9:07 am, "bumper" wrote: Bob, Actually, they do.

Contrary to JJ's love of sex toys and soaring, the old one is a steel
pin. It has a flange at the end with a locking bar that goes through it. Roger thinks he has some bar stock that will work and he will call you after I give him the OD of the the current one.
