If this is a repeat please excuse) Gentlemen: I'm looking for parts again. Need two items, one is needed ASAP. Aircraft - 1964 Aero Commander 680 FLP w/Mr. RPM Conversion, SN 1479-6 Parts Needed: 1. ASAP - I need the idler arm, or bracket or whatever it may be called, that attaches to the right engine on one end and to the right engine alternator on the other end. Midway on this bracket is the eccentric idler wheel used to adjust belt tension. The arm has a slight bend to it in near the middle. The old arm broke at the bolt hole on the engine side. We've looked for a part number in the manuals and on the part but no luck. I didn't think of it today, but tomorrow I'll take a picture of the item in case that may help anyone who thinks they might have a part. So many of you guys out there are so knowledgeable about the Aero Commanders you probably know how much it weighs, what time of day it was made, and the name of the wife and children of the guy who made it. (Ha! Ha!) 2. Fuel cap - The cap used is about 2 1/2" diameter, and has a zeus type fastener that engages the anti-siphon value in the fuel tank. The small leaf spring on the cap I have is about useless and I have to check after every refueling to be sure the cap is locked in place because the small leaf spring gets out of place and doesn't do it's job. If anyone has such items please email me at www.hcourier@cox.net. My cell phone is 850-217-5185, it's always with me, call anytime. If I'm flying or asleep I turn it off otherwise it rules my life.
