"Hi All- I just discovered that one of the tubes on the pitot assembly of my new (to me) F-1 is cracked just below the flange that attaches to the bottom of the wing. I'm embarassed to admit that it took about 15 pre-flights to notice it, but then the A&P who inspected the plane missed it too. Anyway, Univar wants $231.97 (120-51002) for this little part. Can anybody suggested a less-expensive alternative?" ===================================================================== Hi Peter: Why don't you just remove the pitot tube and repair it? You should be able to do a good repair by soldering or brazing it. Or you could even do a repair with epoxy or "JB Weld" without removal.
