New aftermarket 912/914 epoxy floats

[Av8r_Sed]

No need for an apolgy. I was just surprised that someone would try to enter the market at that price point. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Did someone recently purchase Marvel Schebler?

Good Point. I submitted a question to MS to ask if the $125 is for a single float, or a pair of floats. I do agree that $500.00 for four floats is too high.

I thought when I saw them online, it was for a pair of floats, but going back and reading it again, it really may be $125 for each float.

I went back and looked at Aircraft Spruce and they sell a Pair of floats for $93.00, so your right - that is a much better value.

I'll report back if I hear from MS.

If the MS floats are superior, potentially a "lifetime" item instead of the constant problems with the Bing units, there maybe a market for them at $25 more per pair.

https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal.../carbfloat.php Says quanity 1.

[jrevens]

That's a quantity of 1 pair - (2 floats - enough for one carburetor).

Got a reply from MS today.

“The MS80-430 floats are offered at $125.00 US. This is for 2 floats that are direct replacements for the existing Bing floats P/N 861-184.”

Ok. Now it’s not too bad a deal. I think if I ever have to replace floats I would probably use these. It would eliminate taking the floats out n weighing them each year.

Now that's much better. I don't quite get it that "quanity 1" actually means 2 but hey, who's complaining? I'll make a note to buy these if I ever need to replace mine. Thanks for the info. James Thomas
