Interestingly, there were some problems with the blocking rings on the TAS synchros being made incorrectly too! Crazy! Apparently (from forum messages), the TAS blocking rings may have incorrect angles - resulting in grinding. Lovely isn't it? With all of the manufacturing technology we have in 2023, we can't correctly reproduce a simple 1940's design. Upside down!!
Thanks for the kind comments Todd. I will keep my fingers crossed too....and if you have to fix it, I am going to be making a video soon about the quickest way to remove that transmission...not too terribly bad anymore. Cheers!
Greetings Dave! Thank you for the information. I have heard of TAS but I don't know that anyone sells them here in the US. I will definitely work on that. $250 is significantly more expensive than the $110 or so that most are charging for them here...but since many of the US syncros don't work, $250 is cheap! Cheers!
We have missed you Mat. Glad you are busy...sorry you don't have any help! Happy to be on the list....we have a porch to rebuild and a new roof to put on the shop.....o joy!

Greetings Nick - sorry you missed it, but we are doing another in about 3 weeks. I did not record it this time...apologies as we are just getting used to the technology. It was fun for sure...we will have to get you on to talk about making seats too....fun stuff.

You and me both Nick!! The convention next year is going to be epic - the EAA facility is incredible if you love airplanes. Could not think of a better place to have the convention. I have a Weasel care package for you :-) We have a little over a year!
Thank you Dave - appreciate the info. Learning all the time. We are getting close on this tub.
Thanks Matthew! A full video is coming!
