I use "The Parts Centre" for Hyster bits and they have always been very good, AND they are down your way:

Blimey that’s not hard to make

With aviation components, I'm guessing its also the documentation required to trace that part all the way back to the person digging the ore out of the ground that costs.

When my mate had his 300 I remember him paying silly money for one of the tiny tail rotor blades. I think it was around £3000 for something about 14" long. Nothing wrong with the old one but hours up so in the bin it went.
Mind you seeing what happens when a tail rotor let's go I am not really surprised.

When I resprayed my old C172 Cessna I enquired as to the cost of the steel bushes that the rudder and elevator pivoted on, cannot remember exactly how much they were but £25.00 each comes to mind, and there were quite a few! had the old ones tested for hardness, mild steel, hmmm, have a lathe! have steel, have reamers, 20 new bushes, £10.00 , still flying 20 years later, just not by me!

Maybe it was a special mild steel

Like the coffee percolator ftted on B-52 bombers - $3500, identical to the ones in Walmart for $15 apart from the NSN and the paperwork...

It can have benefits though, IBM had a (small) range of mainframe computers that kept randomly spitting out incorrect calculations, as they were for the USAF they were fully traceable - it turned out that one specific chip in them randomly flipped bits from 1 to 0, and were mildly radioactive - traced back to a specific IC logic manufacturer, to the encapsulating resin, to the resin supplier, to the oil products used to make the resin, to the refinery, to the oil well - the resin company bought the mineral rights to the oil field (apart from oil), nice fat Uranium deposit...

Yes the certification and traceability costs but sometimes urine is extracted.

1" X 0.5" "rubber" pad, not sure of exact material but all it does it stop a non critical spring loaded component from bumping into a frame, damaging the paint and ultimately causing corrosion.

That will be $70 sir, and no, it's not self adhesive.

If you want to stay in the sky, it costs money.

This was shipped to the states last yr for a service. He said it cost him £185k

@Brad93
If you look closely at bottom of LH door you can see the pin it locates in a hole in the frame
There is no reason for some of prices
Out of time re build Never flown a Robinson & never want to, @Shox Dr I appreciate it costs but they are taking the proverbial on a lot of parts, we sold ours back to the USA the cost of parts was escalating + the £ \ $ rate was madness all parts a $ figure

Feller down the road rents a helicopter whenever he wants to fly one, gotta be cheaper.

This guy doesn't need to rent anything, he uses it to ‘nip’ to the shops.

You only have to look in LAS parts book, there can be 1/16" difference between the lenght of two bolts. One is £1.27 1/8" longer and its 67quid. Next one 1/4" longer than the first, back down to £1.72

If it flies, floats....

Don't know what £ per hour he is paying & what Machine Do you
Would think £400 PH.Minimum if Piston engine, if turbine £6\800+ Min
A UK Co is saying 1.5 hours in a R 44 aprox £1200 with pilot & landing fees Pilot cost £ 5\80 PH

What goes up...

I can't stand the Robinsons either!

@fizzy's link says "free cable end" - does that mean that you could get rough on the old one, and the new one comes with the new electrical necessaries?

I have a small SP puller which just might do the job fizzy, yours to borrow if you want to try it.

Thanks very much for that

Just ordered a puller set off Ebay - bound to come in useful anyway. Not bad for £22.

Also found the sensor on Ebay for £149 - flipping expensive for what it is but far cheaper than other places.
Annoys me though in the USA someone is selling it for $109 with free shipping to the UK . Can't wait that long though!
