Lord Mounts - Which and best place to buy?
Guys,
Do any of you have a better source for the Lord dynafocal mounts than Van's or Spruce (part number J-9613-40 or J-9613-49). It bugs me that a few pieces of rubber and washers are going to cost $500.
I recall a while back that Mike B. found his at Aircraft Supply for $96 each. Still not cheap, but a nice savings. They have since gone up to almost $200 per pair there.
Any suggestions?

I had the same reservations when looking for mine. After an exhaustive search, Vans turned out to be about the cheapest. And I knew I was getting the right ones. Yes, they really are $500. And no, you really won't miss the money or think about the mounts once your airplane flies!

It hurts even more if you lose only one half of one mount and have to replace the whole enchilada ... ask me how I know? (The other half will stay in my toolbox ... just in case.)

Herber Aircraft ( www.herberaircraft.com) is a Lord Distributor and they had the best price 5 years ago when I bought mine; I paid $91/ea. They are in El Segundo CA, tel 800-544-0050. Ask for Ryan.

Any difference between the Barry mounts and the Lord mounts?
I'm considering changing mine, but at $500, it's quite a consideration! I first installed my engine and thus my mounts 12 years ago. I've put 1100 hours on the airplane in the last 8 1/2 years. I removed my engine recently and thought it would be a good time to replace the mounts. At that price, I'm thinking it's not such a great idea. What do the experts out there think? There's nothing visually wrong with my mounts, no separations, no cracks.

Given this, the question begs to be asked. . .
Why is replacing them even a consideration??? |

Just due to the fact that my engine has been removed and it would be a convenient time to replace anything that's going to need replacement soon due to time in service/calendar time.
