My BFN has 3 airguide speedos in it. If i remember i think currently only one works. The tube broke off the pitot on the other 2. so i'm looking for 2 if anyones got some laying around. I seem to be a day late every time one comes up for sale on here or it seems to be the first thing everyone grabs. maybe someone can part with one or two? Thanks -Tony

Tony, how about getting some brass tube from a hobby shop,the size that fits into the rubber tube and drilling the pitot so it fits back in and gluing it in to make a new connection? Worth a try anyway

A brass hose barb may give you more grip with the adhesive (5200 would be my choice) in the old pitot. McMaster has them for 1/8" ID tubing.

thanks. I've come to the conclusion that if McMaster doesn't have something there is a good chance it doesn't exist. I'll have to flip through the catalog and find something if i don't have something in stock.

Skidim sells replacement pitots for $20. Not sure of the quality.

Get a pack of those 1/8"X1/8" brass barbs- I've successfully fixed pilots that way.
Airguide pilots can command $$$... They're NLA.
