Anyone have a Tost release?

[noel.wade]

All -

My DG-300's CG hook needs replacement (Tost p/n 028500, a right-hand
side-mount, a "G-88" I believe). Unfortunately I've been told that
there are none in-stock in the USA, and shipping from Germany is going
to take several weeks. I have a contest coming up in just a couple of
weeks, so this is a big problem!

Does anyone have an airworthy spare or alternate supply source for
this tow-release in North America?

Thanks, take care,

--Noel

Just got a box shipped from DG in 5 days.

I have ordered brake parts from Tost, a wheel/hub assembly, and have
exchanged a tow hook over the years and they have responded very
quickly. I have used FAX to communicate and we will pass two or three
messages in one day without any problems. Much better service than
many US companies. With priority shipping you can have your stuff in
three days without breaking the bank.

I called Noel earlier. He should call off the hounds. He's getting
one priority shipped from Germany.

Nice to know that TOST is so responsive.
