Rubber Gear Bumpers

[Acroeric]

Does anyone have a good source for the rubber AX handle protectors we commomly use for the landing gear bumpers? I have been everywhere looking-

I got mine at ACE hardware.
If you can't find any local let me know and I can pick up some here and send to you.

Eric,

Although I have not looked specifically for these, we have three ACE Hardware stores in the area. If I'm closer I can pick them up and send them to you, if they have them. Please let me know.

Re: Rubber Gear Bumpers

I have an ACE here as well. I will go by there after work. If they do not have them I will probably take you guys up on your offer and buy 10 of them!

Re: Rubber Gear Bumpers

OK guys- I went to the 2 local Ace hardware stores here-they did not have any. If anyone has them at your local store please let me know. I would like to buy 4 of them. Thanks-

Re: Rubber Gear Bumpers

I bought some bumpers at an Ace Hardware, but there is a catch ... the bumpers are in the Ace Catalog as a special order item.

Find a store clerk that knows how to use the catalog. Too many young clerks only know how to work the cash register.

This is me -- now stuffing a sock in my mouth lest I say more about know-nothing store clerks.

Maybe you can try the ACE website to order. Here is a link for the bumpers.

Re: Rubber Gear Bumpers

I called the local Ace Hardware and they have two styles on hand. There are actually four styles, anyone know which model number it is, HS-1, HS-2, HS-3 or HS-4???

Re: Rubber Gear Bumpers

Eric,

I found out the correct part number, HS-3, and found one each at two local stores. They checked stock in area stores with no luck. I am going to pick these up for you right now and send them to you. I'm not sure if I still have your address written down. Please send a PM and I will get these two out ASAP.

Thanks everyone for the help. You guys are great.

Re: Rubber Gear Bumpers

They went out Priority Mail this morning and you owe me nothing. You've been a help to me in the past, and I'm sure in the future. It is always a pleasure talking to you.
