I know this is on the wrong forum again but, unfortunately, I just had to replace 2 more of these seals on the C-54. Now my spares have dwindled down to 4 and these guys are getting scarce.

So.. Anyone know where I can get some more?

1049003D004 CUP, Hydraulic packing flared 3/16 x 3-16 (Fig. 199)

Like 20, perhaps?

Let me know.

Thanks!

Have you thought of contacting Brooks Air Fuels in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am sure they need them too, but they might be able to put you in touch with the right source given that they are operating C-54's as well.

Best of luck!

Richard

Oh... and see you tomorrow! I will be at the Corsair gathering with you guys. Please make sure to say hello. I'll probably be wearing my flightsuit with my name on it (and a Panchito patch).

All the best,
Richard

Hi,

Can you please send me a picture of the part. I have several possible sources.

PS. My Grandfather flew 254 missions as the AC on C-54 in the Berlin Airlift.
