Okay, this one is fresh off the press and not good news.
I have 3 engines for my Bucker Jungmann, took then all apart to use the best parts to rebuild 2 of them. I had new pistions, valves, guides and stuff made for the engies to get them as good as a 1938 engine can be.
Well, I sent off ALL of my hardware, nuts, bolts, washers, baffelling parts, prop nuts, engine mount pads....you get my piont here...eveything to put then engine togther off to Orlando to get cadnium plated. Well, they finished the job, sent it off to me COD, and behold...UPS calls to tell me the box was found empty, no contents, they discardedthe box and sent the plating Co. a claims form! THey said their is nothig they can do, no search, no looking, no backtracking to try to locate the parts. Done deal. They will pay for up to $100 for shipping. Now to boot, the plating company wants their money for plating!!!
Now, I have two engines and nothing to put them together with! Keep in mind these aprts are not standardharware. All metric and engine specific parts. The only way to get the parts is to find another engine.
Just needed to vent! UPS...sucks.
