I think you may be referring to Mandatory Factory Mod 70 which was issued.

Classification: Applicability: Compliance:

Introduction

This modification has been classified as mandatory by the PFA (UK). All Europas delivered before February 2005

Aircraft with serial numbers shown in the Appendix, or those which have suffered a heavy landing or ground loop - within the next 5 flying hours, or before the next annual Permit renewal, whichever is the sooner.

All other Europas - within the next 25 flying hours or the next annual Permit renewal, whichever is the sooner.

If so you need the revised part from Europa as it’s a mandatory factory mod.

You can download the full mod, and others, from the Europa Club website.

Hello all, in the absence of the factory for parts, a kit that has been waiting to be finished for a few decades and now is in progress again, the stabilator axis has been found to have one end about 8mm higher than the other.
If the plastic bush needs replacing after the removal, can anyone help with material spec and dimensions to make up a new one?

Also, the modification to strengthen the counterweight installation was deemed necessary due to a bent arm, I gather.
Has it been considered if cushioning of the mass before end of travel could achieve what the beefing up of the arm sought to do?

Best regards,
Alex Kaarsberg, kit 529
