My partner and I would like to post our 500B for sale - Since this commander list seems well read - what site (barnstormers, ASO, T-A-P) etc would be the best place to post it? Its been in our "family" since I bought it about 1985 - he just made a trip with it to Kansas this weekend.... got trapped with the ice..... no boots or hot props.It's home in Texas agian tongiht. Anyway what do you guys think is the best bang for the buck to see if there is interest out there in a 1964 500B with almost 10K hrs, and recent panel upgrade and recent right engine IRAN? We're doing an annual in March or Apr.. I need to check the logs. bobf N500GW ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:05:14 PM PST US From: "Ray Mansfield" Subject: Commander-List: Fuel cap Clear DayI haven't inquired in quite a while, but I am still in need of a fuel cap for a model 680FLP Commander. Does anyone have one available at a reasonable price? It's about 3" in diameter, with a zeus fastner type post in the center which secures to the anti-siphon flap with a flat head screwdriver. The flat spring which keeps tension on the post is nearly worn out, and I have to be real careful in securing the cap. Thanks, Ray Mansfield 850-217-5185 Destin, FL ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:22:23 PM PST US From: John Vormbaum Subject: Re: Commander-List: Fuel cap Ray, Having been through a fuel cap replacement myself, you're looking at about $300 for the original-style replacement. For just a little bit more than that, you can get a modern, lift-and-turn fuel cap. That's what I did and I'm extremely happy. The chance of it coming unlocked in flight and siphoning fuel overboard is remote, especially compared to the original style. There are probably several sources on the list for these new-style caps....I'm sure someone will chime in.
