I “acquired” a used Aristo-Craft U25-B recently and it needs some work. Many screws and all truck springs terribly rusty. AC wants $3.98 ea. for the springs and there are 16 of these babys. Anyone have a suggestion of a better place to purchase replacement parts?
I’m pretty sure that price is for a bag of 50 springs. Ridge Road Station has them listed for $2.64.

You gotta pic of that thing? Ain’t those things kinda cosmetically challenged?
50 per bag??? That would be great, Brian. I went to Ridge Road Station and could not find them listed there. Searched for ART29114 and spring but not found. Can you give a link to someone who may be about blind[:D]. Thanks. Wm.
You weren’t asking me, but since I saw your question, here:

Many thanks, Robert. That site is hard to navigate… for me, at least. Wm.
It is. I just entered the part number without the prefix.
Aristocraft also sells part #29403 “Screw Assortment” you might want to order. I have 9 of the U25-B’s so if you have any questions just ask. Maybe I can answer them.
And everybody should file this info as it looks like the u boats are going to be the show engines for the next few years!
Thanks for that info, rpc. Will do 'cause all the screws in that unit are rusty.
