Default Can you help

I'm looking for some retract parts for my new Falcon 120 turbine model. I have a set of used Dreamworks retracts that were produced for this model but there is a fault with one of the rams. Dreamworks no longer sell those retracts so I doubt that there will be any spares.
Does anyone have an old set of these retracts gathering dust on a shelf somewhere or perhaps still screwed into a crashed airframe?? I would be keen to buy them and pay for freight.

Regards

Can you post some pics and dimensions?
I never owned that specific model, but I have a bunch of old retracts and parts laying around and I "might" have something that can be made to work.

A friend recently had a landing accident that smashed the nose of his China Cat and we have deemed it to be not repairable..(at least without a major hassle and weight gain). Replacement fuselages are not avilable.
The remainder of the airframe and the main landing gear units survived, but the nose strut has a broken pin. No big deal. He has a spare pin.
I understand that the Falcon 120 and the China Cat are basically the same airframe, so the LG should fit .
I will contact him today and inform him of your need. I would bet he would sell the entire thing to you so you could have some more spare parts..

When you say "one of the rams" do you mean the air cylinder ? In any event if it's part of the actual retract unit as opposed to the gear leg, their retract assemblies were typically common units based on aircraft weight /size such as the Taurus, etc, simply with different gear legs for specific aircraft models. If you need something like a trunion or air cylinder, those parts are probably still available from Dreamworks.
