Thanks guys. Nice simple solution.

It's all happened to us ... Oh I'll just snug up all these screws before my next run ... oops ...

Are there any repairs that work? With many of our parts nla or nearly impossible to replace like a TPS trans, what's a vintage guy to do? Has anyone tried a helicoil?

huh, guess I missed that! Thanks for the heads up (and repeating your previous post since I didn't pay attention the first time!).

Thanks guys. Looks like you found the same stuff I did! Guess I'll go with carbon fiber until some "vintage" graphite sheet shows up on ebay.

I'm looking for graphite flat blanks, like you'd use to make a chassis or shock towers. I have a chassis stiffener plate that is broken and needs to be replaced. I did see some graphite plates, but I don't think that's quite right.

Thanks for the links!

yah, I found those guys for cf. Best prices around in the thicknesses RC parts are made of. I'm hoping someone has found a place for graphite blanks. I've had none.

Hey guys ... curious to know if any one has run across a supplier for blank graphite boards. I have a couple parts that I have to make as they're the dreaded NLA. I could always use G10 or carbon fiber, but I'd like to stay true to the original material if possible.

Thanks!

I've had luck searching by the Associated part number. Just put that in the search box and hope for the best!

me too!
