I have an Usher fuel cap that's got some worn parts...specifically, the latch and post.
ACS and Van's don't carry this part and a forum search revealed an Usher order sheet with the parts/part numbers, etc. Great, I'll just reach out to the manufacturer.
So, I made a call last week to Usher, spoke with a rep there and described the problem and the part I needed to avoid having to throw the entire, still usable (if repaired) assembly away.
Just got the following email back from him this morning:
"It does sound like it is worn out. I will have to direct you to Aircraft Spruce where you may have to purchase a new gas cap. Since June 2020 we no longer sell directly to public."
So, they won't sell you the part and our usual supply sources don't/won't carry it either...
Like I emailed back to the company rep...disappointing.
Just passing along the news...
