Just looked Chris but didn't see any 8110 spec pumps. They're asking a lot of money too for cores!
I didn't know what leeway the overhaul shop would allow on the core. If it has to be the exact part number then yea, you're most likely looking at a new pump...Just looked Chris but didn't see any 8110 spec pumps. They're asking a lot of money too for cores!
I was figuring a core should be in the $100 to $250 range figuring you might have $800 at most in it by the time it's overhauled. Much more than that and the $1300 new one comes back into play. no?

I have repaired worn rudder horns by drilling out the worn hole and inserting a steel bushing.Texas Air Salvage has a selection of Citabrias and one Scout that they're parting out and I've pulled a few parts from them. Airward.com has a small selection. I was actually surprised to see how many airframe parts WagAero has although some of them are out of stock and won't be restocked like the 8KCAB fuel tanks and fuel tank parts. The rudder pedals I have will probably be replaced. The holes for the cable and interconnect attach points are worn and I was going to ask my IA about welding them closed and then redrilling them. If that's acceptable then they're good pedals but at $106 each, the new ones approach the point of making my old ones not worth saving. Welding worn holes closed isn't in AC 43.13.
i kind of knew if I kept it simple I'd be ok saving money by reusing parts that needed some work to be 100% but now that I've made the decision to go full Super Decathlon with what will hopefully be new factory wings, I'm leaning towards new parts wherever it's justified so I think I'm just going to buy new rudder pedals from WagAero and be done with it. I like your idea though and might do that with my Citabria pedals when the time comes.
