elevator trim part B12-406

[N74DV]

I'm in need of this part, B12-406. it's the brass/bronze elevator trim pulley shaft



I can have my machinist make one but I'd prefer to buy one. Teh taylorcraft website shows it but you can't finish the checkout process on the site and they don't answer the phone. WTF?

Help?

I just got rid of my last one a few weeks ago; sorry.

But I would suggest you get your machinist to make ten (10) of them, plus the mating part...they will always be in demand (under owner-produced parts regulations, of course).

DJ,

There is no Taylorcraft to buy parts from. Even though it shows that, the facility is closed and owned by a Mexican concern if I remember correctly. I posted information on possible future issues of Taylorcraft last fall, however, nothing has come to fruition.

I figured. I've gone ahead and ordered a length of bronze and steel and will get them made this week. I'll make one set for now but I'd consider making a small run of 10-12 units if there would be enough demand that I could sell them within a year's time priced at my cost plus 15% (not sure on what that amount is just yet).

Let me know when and how much. It will be nice to have one on hand if I have to rebuild.
