WTB: Prop rod plastic tip

[eastsideM3]

Anyone have a source for the four prong plastic piece at the tip of the prop rod? Thanks

That would be a great candidate for 3D printing.

Any good sources?

 

[HB Chris]

Do you have an original?

 

[eastsideM3]

Yes but as you can see in the photo one prong is broken off.

We would need one that is intact and not bent, easy to scan that way.

What is that piece?

It is symmetrical so it doesn’t need to be intact. You scan the part, then convert to a 3D model. Then add the missing bits which is essentially a clone of the other side. Definitely cheaper to just scan an intact one.

I’m taking some parts to get scanned next week. I don’t intend to do anything with them at the moment, but safe keeping of rare parts for a later date.

I understand that this is for a CSL prop but I still don’t know where this goes.

Of the two prop rods that a CSL has….. front one it can’t be……! I’ll ask @Yannick

Haha!

I know the injected CSL’s have the little gear thing. I know it doesn’t fit on the front hood, and it isn’t the bracket that the prop rests on.

I don’t know anything about the rear prop and only have a handful of pics. So few CSL’s have a rear prop and I haven’t been able to evaluate in person.

 

[Keshav]

That’s the plastic part that holds the rod, they get brittle and break over the years. Most have probably reverted to a hook like my example pic…..I’m guessing.

Here you go...

Oh my

I will take one!! If you can get them copied!! I do love then ingenuity of this community.

Ciao Mario,
puoi per favore guardare nel tuo bagagliaio e confermare com'è il gancio per l'asta di supporto? Se sembra in questa immagine?
grazie molto
Keshav

Confermo, è identico, mando una mia foto, era nel mio archivio, una foto scattata anni fa

 

[Keshav]

Ciao Mario,
Prefetto, grazie tantissimo.
Salute

Sono anni che cerco i supporti per alette parasole 51161819619, sono fuori produzione dal 1992, finalmente li ho trovati nuovi e identici e li ho montati subito

Se l'avessi detto prima, potremmo dirti che le Porsche degli anni '70 usano lo stesso, anche piuttosto economico.
