‘78 172N 28v Flap Motor Issues

[ARFlyer]

Welp our flap motor has gave up the ghost. Anyone know where to source a replacement motor or a shop that overhauls these things? My mechanic and I are coming up short on finding anything in the salvage world much less new old stock.

Looks to be P/N C301002-0104

It looks like AirPower has stock?
It looks like BAS parts has used one?
It also looked like there were 2-3 of them on E bay?
Maybe I am wrong?
Good luck.

AirPower is showing out of stock now that my computer updated.

BAS is also out of stock.

Make sure the fault is not in the travel limit microswitches, or at the flap control, which also uses microswitches
The switches on the plap actuator get oil or grease in them from incorrect lube procedures. The switches under the panel can sometimes break or get out of rig.

I agree with Dan that you want to check everything prior to shotgunning a motor. However if you do need one, checking that P/N on Textron indicates it is superseded to C301002-0121 which is available (319 in stock)
