Ok team, I modified the caps from an L39 for a buddy of mine to allow changing the hydraulic fluid and testing the system, seining the gear. These are two different sizes and the fittings are behind an access panel on the left side of the fuselage aft of the wing.

We do not want to undo the mod so I am looking for two replacements. Any help. Winner gets a pony. If Jack still has some. 8)

Not knowing whether it is metric or some eastern block aerospace special threads I'll recommend a Parker Store if you have any around. The local one here has many adapters and I get my British to AN or pipe thread adapters there off the shelf. Metric adapters are on the shelf as well.

Call/e-mail the Cold War Air Museum or the Red Steel Jet Team - www.cwam.org / www.redsteeljetteam.com

They've got a ton of parts and good line on supplies. Also try the Black Diamonds.

I'm pretty sure that there's some sort of informal L-39 community setup, any of those three would have information on that.
