A65 Oil Sump

[swiftrlb]

Does anyone have an extra oil sump for an A65 with the long neck and guage that they can part with? I believe the part number is A-5230 for Taylorcraft.

We have this one surplus, but I believe it is a short neck.

Mark,
Your right. What you have is a shortneck.
Thanks,

Ralph,
What I need is the one with a tube approximately 9.75" long. There should be a part number marked on the flange which mates up to the crankcase halves.

The oil tank came from a CUB. It has the CUB style attachments. I wouldn't know if it would fit a Tcraft. Others here may help on clarifying this point.

Ray,
Checked my parts in the barn and had another kidney tank, unfortunately it's another short neck (missed you at SFQ today).
I also found all the parts for the trim indicator if you want to get together and copy the indicator plate. It's really simple. We should be able to bang a couple out in half an hour.

Ralph,
I need an oil sump for a J-3 Cub with an A65. Do you still have the one you listed?

Re: A65 Oil Sump

What neck length? I think I still have the short neck one.

Re: A65 Oil Sump

Hi Hank,
It should be a long neck tank and preferably with the attachments for a Cub but thank you for the offer. By the way--your windscreen really looks nice--that 41 Deluxe sure is looking classy.

Re: A65 Oil Sump

Sorry I don't have an extra long neck. We need someone to make a fixture to extend short necks and make long ones.
Thanks on the 41 windscreen/windshield. I have a message in to Forrest right now to be sure I built it right before I fly it. Kind of ruin your whole day to take off in a freshly redone Taylorcraft and have the windshield explode off the plane! You would be amazed at the visibility. I thought it would reduce visibility with the framing but you don't even notice it.
Now the big compass is a different story! Easy to read but HUGE compared to the little one I used to have there.
