I need a Riser Assy for the pitot tube for our TBM-3E we're restoring. We also need misc odds and ends for the interior.

Also hardware/components for the wing "swing" feature.

Thanks..

PS..Give me a month to get my TBM "lingo" down and have some terms for ya! Thanks

I can say yes, yes I do. I am going to look around and find out whats there and not there in boxes this weekend and Ill let you know. This bird has been in "restoration to static display" for years and has finally found a glorious home, so she's getting the attention needed now, and any parts would be appreciated.

I desparetely need the pitot mast. I can tell you what i have to trade hopefully by Sunday Night. I will be doing an inventory and let you know what I got. Please PM me with parts you have / need and Ill PM you back with my list. Our foundation has many parts for many different warbirds lying around on the shelves and would be more than happy to trade any one that has parts to trade. We'll be in touch Charlie, and other contributors.

Oh and she'll be restored for static display for the next few years. Shell be on loan for an indoor exhibit. Would love to make her fly when the loan is up though!

BuNo. to come Sunday.

Thanks all!

Looking for a -2, Maintenance Manual and a -4, Parts manual for sure. Anyone WIXers have either of these that i can get? let me know your price. Thanks

Also need wing fold hinge/mechanism, canopy parts/frames, and wing caps currently. List is huge, pics to come on new forum topic of her static restoration. She needs lots of loving.

Thanks again everyone, especially those of you responding to my assistance requests! She "should" be coming to Camarillo Airport for the restoration, Ill let you know if anything changes, thanks.

Dave
