Default Whelan Strobes; Replacement Parts
Butter fingers here dropped a red lens of a "standard" Whelan strobe / nav light assembly. Anyone have an extra, or know where to get a replacement without buying a whole new unit?

I found the break down of replacement parts on Aircraft Spruce. $20. OUCH!

Anyone have a spare to sell?

It is amazing how many tiny little pieces it breaks into from such a short fall!

Been there, done that. I think I either got the replacement from Van's or from Aircraft Spruce.
