We're building hand controls for the disabled as part of the Freedom's Wings program in Canada, and the designer/engineer has specified the following epoxy potted insets... Simplest solution: Get the designer/engineer to change to a more common part, or get a different designer/engineer. When I design with NAS hardware, it is because I have bags and bags of them on hand and I'm trying to use them up. All other hardware is COTS items from Aircraft Spruce or McMaster-Carr, or can be made from common materials according to simple drawings. Thanks, Bob K. |

Yes, on the face of it that makes sense, however, the designer is doing this on a pro-bono basis, and he's very busy with no time to entertain changes. When I design with NAS hardware, it is because I have bags and bags of them on hand and I'm trying to use them up. All other hardware is COTS items from Aircraft Spruce or McMaster-Carr, or can be made from common materials according to simple drawings. It would be great if we could use COTS parts, but we must use aircraft parts with complete traceability and manufacturer certs to meet the approval of the engineer and Transport Canada. If we could build it COTS it would have been done 2 years ago. It's extremely frustrating. Martin |

![]() Potted inserts are not common COTS items, however, the designer should have no problem substituting with a commercial (Think Rosan) style insert. Have your designer contact me, I'll hook him up with parts that are available yet meet commercial/mil specs. aerodyneatsocaldotrrdotcom |

Martin, did you ever find a supply for your NAS1834 inserts? We manufacture all NAS1832 - NAS1834 inserts and can do custom lengths and sizes.

I tried these folks for NAS replacement bolts for Pawnee wheels, very
reasonable when I told them I needed 1000's of similar part numbers at work. I deal with a lot of vendors, these guys are so good I had them added to my companies approved buyer list. Anyone that has stock on long titanium bolts is a vendor to remember. Links below show a large number of records for the two NAS numbers you had problems with. Call Tim, he can help with P&D quote: http://www.iso-group.com/Public/Sear...spx?ss=nas1832 http://www.iso-group.com/Public/Sear...spx?ss=nas1834 aerodyne |
