On the way back out to the shop, I'll check what I have on hand.
Don. I have already purchased a base from you but you did not have the needle assy then. Can I purchase the needle assy now. The base does me no good without it. Thanks john

I have no extra needle assemblies to sell at this time. It is my understanding that Speedmaster/Rossi Sales is working on a replacement for them.
 
All the remote needle assemblies are going out tomorrow. They are assembled with appropriate needle to match the base size ordered. Contrary to those who've copied my design there is no "one size fits all" which is why I've always offered two base sizes. The OS in flight remote needle kits come with two needles with different tapers, one is used in the small block base and the other with the big blocks. Learned a lot back in the beginning when I spent months flow testing the design and is also why you don't see 90 degree banjo fitting on my bases either. ;)
 
That's where the problem comes in.
OS discontinued the in flight needles and they are real hard to find.
Supposedly Speedmaster/Rossi Sales is looking into creating a replacement. My biggest hope both needle sizes are offered. As I previously mentioned you need both sizes to do it right, not a one size fits all.
 
Hi Don, I am needing 2 or 3 small block needle bases and I know its a long shot but I need one of the black round plastic pieces that the needle screws into and the arm goes over and a e-clip for it. I cant seem to find it. I found the brass spiral threaded piece and the arm for it just no housing that holds the needle . If you could find one for me then I would need 2 bases right hand and 1 base left hand just to have both directions covered.

I'll see what I have in the shop.
 
Let me know if you want it give me your address and I'll ship it to you I'll throw it in the envelope and put a stamp on it no charge
That's really nice of you Corey.

I guess It would be good to have a spare arm in case I would have to cut one down or something . I will pm you .Hopefully I can return the favor someday. I really appreciate it.

No hurry Don I just really appreciate you looking for me. I won a couple more os needles on ebay and I really like how these work. I have a couple of your needle bases and they are really nice and compact. this is my first time using the 3rd channel needles and I cant see how I lived without them all these years . they really make running fun. I have been putting them in more boats lately.


I was able to run that pepsi max sport 40 with one last weekend that was really cool. Here is a short video of it running.
