Got a quote on eyebrow molding..any thoughts?
I found a set of eyebrow moldings. The price is $300 US shipped. Salesman said he would try not to break them when removing them since they are glued on.
Does this sound reasonable? Should I try to bargain for a better price? What about the glued on part? How likely are they to break. I have been looking awhile for these.
Thanks for the help.

I have seen photos and they are thick, heavy looking pieces of plastic. I agree with you, a gorilla would have to try to break them or purpose. I am thinking of asking for a better price and stating that I don't want a broken set. Minor cracks ok, but don't send a broken set.
What do you think? Go with these or keep looking?

300 shipped, seen them for almost that much apiece. See if you can get pictures.

It sounds to me like they have not been pulled from the aircraft yet. It is basically a useless part for anyone but flight simmers. They usually get tossed AFAIK. The guy may not know if they come out easy because he may never have pulled a set.
I know APHS sells them for $125 each. Don't know what they charge for shipping, but they are considered the cheapest so it seems in the ballpark.
Should I take a chance? Even if they are not perfect they would probably be reparable. I have never shopped for aircraft parts before.
Hey and thanks.

Got mine from Nick too, a good while ago, they are never perfect due to the material they are made of ,sort of rubbery foam, I suppose they are fine when new but after years of UV, abuse and overheated cockpits (on the ground!) they develop some wavy pattern!
I am happy with it.Jackpilot

Re: Source for 737 eyebrow moldings
I put this posting below on the interiors post, but I wanted to add it here. So, please read and tell me what you think. Also, I have an idea about filler; it could be expansion foam. Expansion foam that comes in spray cans that is used for insulation cracks/seams, etc. could be used as a filler behind the plastic mold itself, and it would be lightweight.
These copies would be clear and yet firm, so you can paint them yourself. They would not be as strong as the original, but it would not need to be since your simulator is not actually flying and producing pressure and g-factor effects on the plastic.
Otherwise, what other ideas does anyone have on the filler?
Hey all,
I was just surfing YouTube for making homemade vaccum formers and it looks like something easy to do. I have the interiors for the 727, so I don't think many would want these molded, plus making a molder big enough would be hard (but not impossible).
However, many have asked about the eyebrow molds and that seems much easier to do. Of course the ones I have are from 727, but they'd be close for a 737.
Assuming I used ABS plastic or some other similar material, what would be used to make this a solid object. In other words, if the plastic is vac down on the eyebrow it would produce a copy, but it would be thin and flimsy. So to make it a solid object, what would I use to fill it in or up?
Hot plastic as a filler would not work because it would melt the molded copy, fiberglass material would be too exspensive, so it would have to be something cheap and that hardens, but does not require heat...
Any suggestions on this part and I would attempt to vac copy/mold mine and sell them at a cheap price. If we could figure out the filler, then everyone could do that part themselves and I could just make the molds, so the shipping would be lighter and cheaper.
Of course I would not know the outcome without trying it first.
