Want To Buy: ProFurl plastic locking pin

"E" in this diagram

PN 50092
No longer available from Wichard/ProFurl, and one of mine fell out.

They still sell stainless steel versions for $280, but I'd prefer the $10 plastic if anyone has extra(s) they don't mind parting with.

I machined a couple for myself… not difficult to make. Find a machinist to ma a few.

I could make a nice part at home, but I'm out in the wild and here's what I made up for emergency use:





I'm guessing more $ to have someone else make, but it's an option if nobody has spares.

Following up, had these 3D printed by Xometry because I wanted a slightly different size anyway. $19 each

Process: HP Multi Jet Fusion (HP MJF)
Material: Nylon 12, Gray (Natural)
Color: As Printed, Gray (Natural)
Inspection: Standard Inspection
Finishing: Vapor Smoothing

Posting settings because there are so many choices in printing these days, and I am happy with these ones for light duty boat parts that other plastics work for.

Nice!

I need to remember that I actually OWN a 3D printer and can print these kind of things instead of firing up the lathe/mill/whatever. My brain is firmly stuck in "old school" mode.

Hi do you have the plan for 3D printing this part. What furler is it from? c420? 390?
thanks

Hi Tim, sorry for the delayed reply- I do not have the file handy, but it wouldn't do you much good anyway, as I designed it to fit a customized C350 and would not work for a normal C350.
