Fellow Europaphiles,
Richard Holder commented:
"The other factor is that the BLS4R17N are about 50 each
---From E(2004), so the Mod 73 fix is a few quid in resin and
maybe an extra 100 plus VAT if a bigger pip pin is
required (if they can find any)."
If there is an issue with the cost of replacement pip-pins perhaps I
can help. McMaster-Carr ( http://www.mcmaster.com/ ) on this side of
the pond has of ball lock pins in a wide variety of styles,
materials, sizes, mechanisms, etc. It appears that there are a
number of pins that would work and are at prices much less than the
50 UKP Go to the web site and search on "ball lock pins" and see
what works for new pins. Then let me know how many and I'll see if I
can work up a deal on pins at a much better price. Understand, I
don't want to take business from E'04, I'd just like to do what I can
to reduce the financial impact of these mandatory mods.
Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger
