I remember some years ago as the Chief Pilot of a corporate jet operation our Falcon needed a new thrust reverser apron. This consisted of several pieces of tin bent cleverly and riveted together....maybe 2' long and 1' wide...total labour time to make maybe 10-12 hrs....
US100K...lots of fun going to the bosses with that little gem.
Some years ago I replaced the left wing main spar,bathtub fittings and one rib in my Bonanza...US5000. I hate to think what Raytheon would have demanded...I got mine from an aircraft 'recycler' in Oklahoma....it was indistinguishable from a new one.
Hunt around, you'll find one at the right price.
Alternatively get yours repaired. My Bonanza upper cowl (the part that swings open) on the right side has an area in the front corner...maybe 4 inches by a half an inch which has eroded away on the edge..don't ask me how its a mystery to me...replacing the cowling would run to thousands...an upper cowl for a C206 is around US$5000 apparently, about what I payed for my freaking spar
.
The very talented airframe guy at the place that services my Bonanza suggested he just repair it...he showed me some of his recent similar work on an Ag plane in the hangar...most impressive...cost about AUD$800 he reckons...and its quite a complex shape..when he's finished it will be virtually indistinguishable from new...your door should be a doddle.
You can just about make out the eroded edge in this piccy...look in the blue stripe just above the prop blade and were the cowl edge is.
