Dexta Nose cone wanted South UK or Oxford area

Post by npaisnel »

I know I can buy a new part from Agriline et al but want an original if possible.

Rust holes are not a problem, but bent and buckled is.
i ave two here both bent and rusted, so panel beating is not much of an option.

one is bent because almost 40 years ago, when I was 5 years old I rolled the tractor down a slope in to a tree.
The other is bent because in absence of a weight frame we used to stick two 50 kilo bags of fertilizer on the nose when we ahd the Vicon on.

I say Oxford or South of England area because I am in Jersey, but regularly fly in to Southampton, Oxford and Exeter airports, so could stick a nose cone in the back of the aircraft on the way home.

Hi there, i have a nosecone, for a standard dexta, which has a bit of rust, and has a few small dings but it isnt completely bent, i reckon its saveable if you put your mind to it, but im more mechanical than bodywork inclined.
Also, we have a grass runway on our farm which you could land on if you like? My neighbour flies too and fro work in his sesna. We are near taunton, in somerset.

I suspect it may help you to make a decision if i took some photos of it?
Oh yay, look, another seized bolt! Lets get a hammer.....and some kano.....and some cider!

Sorry not replying sooner, I am not getting e-mail notification of replies.

I actually have started straightening the one, I have, though coming up just to see land on your strip seems fun.
What are the strip details, position ?
