Copper Crush Gasket Seal (Oil Pump) - AN900-28 /MS35769-48
I have about 40 copper oil seal gaskets for sale at £10 each incl UK delivery.
The long story:
We needed just ONE to replace an oil seal during the rebuild of our Continental 0-200, cost each £0.84. The problem is UK supplier only supply these in batch packets of 50 (just why??), so instead of about £7 for two delivered from the US, we had to buy 50 at total cost of around £112 !! (UK supplier different price, unit @£1.50 x50 plus carriage plus VAT....)
US supplier will deliver in packets of 2, but we ordered these early in June and they still haven't arrived (now early July....) - initially sent from USA to EU distributor, now stuck in Brexit import hell ever since, so we were forced to give up on the original order and buy the bulk 50 pack from the UK to get our engine build back on track.
So to try and recoup our ridiculous overspend on these gaskets, we are offering individual gaskets at £10 each (incl postage) or say £15 for two. Or you could try and order a packet of 2 from the US supplier and take your chances.....
They have two alternate part numbers AN900-28 or MS35769-48
Photos of Airparts COF and order details attached.

I will by some but have you got your arithmetic right?
£112 divided by 50 is £2.24 per gasket....

Hi Tony, correct. Our problem is that to buy ONE copper seal worth £2.24, we had to pay £112!
So simply trying to recoup some of this by offering a deal to others (avoiding the delays in ordering from overseas suppliers and /or minimum bulk purchase from UK supplier) - we would have preferred to pay someone £10 instead of £112 and be left with spares we will never use.....
If you want more than one, PM me and will come to an arrangement.
Regards
Mart

I sincerely hope they aren't the 1/2 inch inside diameter ones.

Thanks. Yes I see. Damned expensive.

Alan, I am not sure the point(s) you are trying to make in your posts. I am not a retailer, the situation we faced when trying to source one of these gaskets is outlined on my initial post. The unit cost in America is pennies I agree. Like us, aircraft owners needing one of these in the UK have two options, either (1) order from the USA at a cost of around £7 including postage and wait indefinitely for it to arrive (our original order paid for on 2 June remains undelivered some 5 weeks on with no sign of any arrival date from EU where it is understood to reside in some export office), we simply couldn't delay our engine re-assembly whilst waiting forever for one relatively insubstantial part. Or (2) buy from the UK supplier who only ships in bags of 50 = cost delivered of £112. We could cut our losses and bin the spares we don't need or, as here, offer them at £10 a pop (incl postage) as a not unreasonable opportunity for others to avoid the same time consuming or wasteful process whilst helping us to recoup some of our outlays. I am being quite transparent, you can see from the copy of the original unfulfilled order that the base unit cost was only £0.84 (excl carriage & VAT).

No. You have it wrong. I am saying the items are bloody expensive from the original retailer.
In no way am I implying anything untoward.

Alan, OK all good, thanks for clarifying.
Do you want to buy one anyway.... ?

Shame you didn't put out a "wanted" post as I have a few in "stock".
I would have charged you only £1 !
I assume LAS couldn't say when they would get stock in? I see they are showing nil stock and a lead time of a week or so.

Tony, would have done so had we known we were going to wait as long as we have - the original order from USA was via LAS quoting 4-5 days lead - they still haven't got it after nearly 6 weeks, so I suspect the lead time quoted on their website is only dreaming.... we eventually went to Airparts, but had to accept their minimum order of 50.

Like others, I'm late to the party here. These gaskets are less than a dollar each, and I have many in stock, so I would have let you have one for a first class stamp.
I buy them when I'm in the USA and get free delivery to Oshkosh (when times are normal!)
I don't frequent this Forum as much as the FF one, so next time you need a one-off, post there.

Martc,
What about 5 gaskets for £10, postage included?
That will help a bit towards your engine rebuild costs...
