Default Help: Cirrus 75 Landing Gear Parts

Hello Everybody,



I received the following email from a friend of mine who lives in Argentina and would like to help, but I don't know how to find these parts.



"I´m writing you because I need some help in finding some spare part for a Cirrus 75 that belongs to my gliding Club in Argentina. Last Saturday I had a bad landing and I need to replace, as soon as possible, the wheel mass, the wheel chamber and wheel cover. Unfortunately any of this is available in Argentina. I wonder if you can help me in finding one. A friend is coming from the States to Argentina in a month time and he could bring everything I can find from there."





I've emailed Heinz M & H Soaring as well. Are there any Rec Readers out there who could help point me in the right direction please? Thanks in advance.

Hi Sarah,
looks like your friend is looking for the complete wheel assembly - hub, inner tube and tire. A Cirrus 75 was one of the last Cirrus' series built and the wheel was most likely made by TOST. I would recommend your friend contacts them (www.tost.de then go to 'English') with some dimensions and I am sure he will be able to get all the correct replacement parts.
