T300 Boom-to-Main Spar Bracket

[Riley]

Gentlemen

 

Am now getting serious about the resurrection of the T300 project that's been languishing in the shed for the past six years and a preliminary inventory shows that, besides being a few sandwiches short of a picnic, I'm also missing a few Thruster parts. Whilst I have two of the 4130 Crmo upper main spar brackets I'm lacking the 'wrap around' boom bracket that it mounts to. Just checked with Bob Llewellyn to learn that the late Tony Hayes' modified angle of incidence bracket isn't going to happen for some time (if at all) so am on the hunt for a decent boom-to-front 'A' support posts 316 ss bracket that is in good useable shape. Anybody out there have a spare or know someone who might? I have quite a range of T300 used spares that I could offer in exchange or am happy to make an outright purchase. Any and all info would be very much appreciated. Call me on (08) 9299 8008. mob 0428 338 933 or email. Tks in anticipation Riley

G'day Riley,

Cripes, talk about a speedy response! (hope I never end up owing you money - there'd be no peace). Unfortunately I won't be able to hit the White Gum Fly-in this year as I'm doing an 'overnighter' walking the Bibulmum Track but I'll have my ducks properly prioritized next year you bet. Tks for the sleuthing on my behalf. cheers

Wade Mahlo at Orange Airport was the manufacturer of the thrusters for a long time. He may still have parts available. The thruster business is for sale I believe. His website appears to be out of action but a phone call may help.

Tks for that Robinsm. I'll file that info for reference pending response from some of the T300 guys who I've assisted with parts in the past.

Hehehe.

I guess the other option is to have one fabricated Riley. I imagine it would be pricey but I had some ss wing spar brackets made up at a specialist ss fabrication shop here in Perth, so if you go down that path then let me know and I'll dig out the contact details.

Here you go Riley, the last post has a link to the ss fabricator I used. Might be of interest to others as well.

Tks Pud - will record those details in my 'collected smarts cum reference bible' (read - old school scribbler). Cheers Riley
