 |
|
Van's does not have any Lord engine mounts. They are back ordered with no delivery date in site. They gave me a Lord part number of J3804 but looking at Spruce's site the number includes a -20 or -15 etc. Can anyone tell me which part number to order? Or another source as Spruce's price is $50 more per mount than Van's?
Also, I am about to put the plane on the gear. I have heard I should install better tubes in the tires than what Van's supplies because they leak. Which should I switch to and where to get them? Or are Van's supplied good enough?

I've replaced the old leakers with the stop leak tubes. Made by either Michelin or Goodyear.
Remember to use talcum powder when putting the tubes inside the tires and (from experience) slightly inflate the tube then mate the 2 wheel halves to minimize potential to pinch (and tear) the tube when torquing the wheel together.

Dave, I dropped the tires and tubes from my finish kit and purchased them from Desser tire, which was mentioned by several other builders. I didn't pay too much more than the Vans price, but got Goodyear flight custom tires, and the leak proof tubes (the name was a little different than that though). They arrived in a couple of days and they added in a big bag of tire talc too. I too am waiting on Lord mounts. It looks like I am just going to have to get the credit and buy them on my own if Vans is going to procure any to provide in the kits.

One positive about keeping Van's initial tires is that they're
not expensive tires.....and I think many people will be doing
a lot of re-learning or skills improving as they get used to
the new plane. My original tires I think lasted 300 hours
or so, and although I would have done better maybe with better
tires, it's kind of nice to have them be "expendable" tires
that you go with initially. Not that everyone will need this
or see it that way. I know I also went through the first set
of brakes faster. I'd highly recommend that once someone is
flying, you order a replacement set of brake linings right away
and keep them on hand. It'll be a while before you need them,
but some of these things you want to have ready because they
day you find that they're shot, you may want them done
immediately. So get the rivet tools, rivets, linings, and
things on hand early. Anyway, just wanted to point out that
having the cheap tires for the first part of your flying
might not be all that awful....you'll use many sets through
the plane's lifetime, so lots of opportunity to upgrade.

Same here (sort of), I had Michelin leak stop tubes for the mains but something else for the nose. I’ve since replaced with a Michelin tube.
Mains: 15x6.00-6 Michelin Airstop 6EL20, P/N 097-500-0
Nose: 5.00x5 Michelin Airstop 5CG67, P/N 092-308-0

The correct Lord Mount part # is J-3804-28
I bought mine from Herber Aircraft Services, Inc. They had them in stock and shipped the same day (at) $88.00 ea.

I found them great to deal with. Good luck.
