in General Discussion

Dear PIPER PA28/PA28R/PA44 owners,

I need a new Inflatable Door Seal (Bob Fields) for my PA44T. I have made arrangements for duplication of the original seal, with a vendor that makes the replacement seal for the Beech Baron, and is also the OEM supplier for the Corvalis/TTX/Lancair IVP.

If I can get at least 20 owners to all chip in on a group purchase, there would be a $50 tooling charge plus the cost of the seal. Seal prices are between $375-$575 depending on the number of folks that show interest. He is also willing to through in a rear baggage door seal made of the same material and color (Gray) for $25 each if you join the group purchase.

All seals would be shipped with clear silicone adhesive for installation.

These will be classified as "owner approved parts" so you will want to check with your installer as they are made to sample. However, they are made of AMS-3301 MIL-SPEC Silicone which most A&P's will be happy with as MIL-SPEC material is referenced in AC 43.14B.

Once we have sufficient commitment, we would Paypal the vendor.

Please Email or Text me to confirm interest. Thanks!

    Hi Dave,
    Have you contacted the Bob Fields company? I purchased a new inflatable door seal for my Arrow from Bob Fields son, now running the company, just a couple of months ago.

    Boy are you lucky. He has defrauded several aircraft owners. Apparently there is a warrant out for his arrest because he never showed at court.

    Oh, that's so sad :( In September of last year I talked to Craig Fields for about a half hour. Nice guy, great conversation. I got my door seals shortly thereafter.
