Enquiring for a friend in Canada restoring an RCAF Stinson HW-75 who is trying to keep it original.

These rubber rings (he calls them bladders) are no longer available, though I guess they were used on Pipers etc too. Any pointers here or in Europe I could try to locate them for him?



8x4 wheel - Assembly number is 2-113. Part number B-2243

Thanks in anticipation.

Its known as a "tube assembly" https://www.nsncenter.com/NSN/1630-00-182-3416 or "expander tube".
These guys say they make aftermarket ones - perhaps worth a call: http://www.stillchampion.com/expansion- ... pucks.html

Thanks, they've sourced an OEM one locally.

What's a Stinson HW-75?

Charles,

You know the a/c I’ve been slaving over since we met? That’s one.

On the a/c designator thread, you reckoned no-one asked what a Stinson 75 was. With the HW- prefix, I thought I just might.

As noted in your square circuit comment, it was just another attempt at humour.
