WANTED - BRAKE RETURN SPRING LUSCOMB 8A

5 posts in this topic

Posted (edited)

Looking for this small coil spring that goes on outside of wheel to return lever to neutral for cable brakes -

size of a nickel, about 3 turns of spring, with a 3" ear sticking out on each end, opposite directions.

Most have probably been thrown away or in someone's junk pile.

I put it here so I wouldn't cover up ads for Avid/Kitfox parts.

Luscomb Foundation no help.   Is there no way to post a WANTED ad on ebay?

Would there be another brand of 1940's plane that might have this spring with cable brakes?

Avid90,

     I really have no clue what else they might be on - Just took a wild chance that some person might know of some - Guess they are rare now.  Wire is about 1/8" diameter.  Donno much about T-craft, but can call my buddy tomorrow - We each know where  T-craft are hangered.

Thanks,

EDMO

I was told this morning that some of the 7AC Champs with shoe brakes used this same spring - there may be some of them around.

I am hoping that Jim123 found the right ones for me.  I should know in a day or two.

YES, they look better than new.  Bought them today.

Many Thanks Jim,

EdMO
