Wanted C90-12 / Propeller

[intoaircooled]

I'm looking to replace a C85-12F in my Cessna 140 that I purchase a couple of years ago. I'm trying to get if flying again but found a lot of rust on the cylinder walls, guess that's to be expected after sitting around for 15 years. If anyone can help me out or point me in a direction that would be great.

Thank you

I do have a C90-12 that I will sell. Zero time since overhaul a number of years ago. Just haven't found a plane to put it on yet. Feel free to send me a message if you are interested. Bill

Carl, Did you receive the private message I sent you? I can't tell from the mailbox.

When you send a message, it remains in your "Outbox" until someone reads it. If it appears in your "Sent" messages it has been looked at at least once.

Roger that. Thanks John.

Bill,

Sorry for not getting back to you on the engine, I go distracted with life and haven’t been on the site much. I did spend some time on the 140 yesterday and I did find a C-90-12F. I would have saved some money had I seen your post first. Anyway now I am in need of a rudder, the skin is bent both sides and the bell crank is looking pretty rough and the NAV light riv nuts are both gone. So if anyone has a good one they are willing to sell i’m interested

Thanks

Carl,
There is a chance that our Chapter has a rudder. I will check this weekend on that.

I just finished the restoration of a C-140 that had been over on its back and of course needed a rudder. I found they are as scarce as hens teeth! I had the old crumpled up rudder so salvaged the tail light fittings and the bottom rib with the control arms. Bought a new spar, two side skins, and the top cap and had a “new” rudder with about 4 hours work. I bought the parts from Univair. I have several pictures if you want to see the procedure.

The skins and horn are available from Univair like Steve mentioned.
It is not hard. I replaced them on mine when I restored the airplane.
I did make a custom bucking bar for the rivets in the Spar.
The rivets on the trailing edge can all be done with a squeezer.

I checked today and sorry but no rudder. We do have a set of elevators though.
