Black thrust blocks

Post by NaughtyBits »

Morning all,

I'm looking to buy 2 or 3 of these black thrust blocks. Any help sourcing would be appreciated. Thanks & have a good one.

They are normally seen painted silver, seen a handful of them in the past, maybe a 3d printer job.

The black plastic ones are the cheap later version.

There were also bronze and aluminium versions.

I have a bronze one somewhere, will see if I can find it.

I have not seen them being sold, had to buy a whole bracket to replace the one I lost.

You can see the 102 on my yellow boat has no thrust block.

P.S. Yes Charles was been towed again, in this case silver century to the rescue, thanks Timberman.

That must be some time ago, not a grey hair in sight.

Alan

Do you realize in that picture your hair is grayer than mine!

Why did I have 2 boats there?

Is there a date on that picture?

Charles, Peter was in your red boat, that was July 2009.

How time flies, I was grey then, greyer now.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies. Rick, thanks very much. I do have several in ali & bronze - but it's these black plastics one's I'm looking for.

I've seen a few before, but don't know which motors they came on, or which (no doubt few) years they were available. I think this one came on a century of my brother's from the states - but it came with 10 other Seagulls, all of which had been played with and had parts swapped around. So there's no guarantee it left the factory with that century's bracket.

Thanks again.

I've only seen them on 102's, how about checking pre 1970 102 parts books.

Is there any difference between the white block and black Block other than the colour?

The white block has a different latching setup.
The white thrust block can be easily printed as the drawing for that is already available on line, plus the impeller, I don't have a block, so I cannot draw one to make one.
