Default Who made this Retract unit?

It is the nose retract from a CAI Razor from about 1998. 90% aluminum machined from bar stock. flat head screws used to hold it together. I need to get a replacement steel arm that broke. please send email or private message

Rhom Air had a deal with CAI for a while.

That sure looks like a Rhom to me.

I'd be willing to bet that BVM has the parts to fix that.

Rhom Air is out of the retract business and full into ?medical equipment? of some sort.

Yup, been down that path. bvmjethead is right - a similar part from BVM can be substituted with very little hassle. Better shop the BVM web site a little to pick out more stuff before you order it to make the shipping co$t worthwhile. Regardless, whoever you talk to on the phone will be very helpful.

The BVM part has arrived and it fits! [8D]
Need to make minor alteration for clearance to strut block

BVM staff was waiting for my call and the good lady told me that one of their guys read this posting and he cautioned the bvm part about it may not work in the Rhom gear. Well for $12.00 it was well worth the risk to save me time afterhours at work.
