Some time ago I lost the fuse cap for the clock/hourmeter fuse holder that is near the firewall above the battery box.

The part number is S1090-23. Ce$$na no longer sells just the cap; they sell only the fuseholder assembly. When I checked the price a year ago, it was a ridiculous $150. I checked the price today and it is now an obscene $753.

The cap would have a “1” on it, but any other number can be removed.

If you have replaced the fuses in your plane with circuit breakers and have a fuse cap laying around, bring it to Clinton next week. We can negotiate how many ABUs (Adult Beverage Units) it will take to purchase it.

It is a common part, you can replace it with a standard fuse holder like this:

You could buy a whole bucket full of them for the price Ce$$na wanted for one.

I am heading out to the hangar tomorrow afternoon to work on Nicks 175. I will check my parts stash. I know I have a bunch of fuse caps, I am just not sure if any of them have a "1" on them.

While you're at it, grab one for me. It doesn't matter what number is on it, it's to cover a fuse socket that is no longer in use.

PM with with the particulars. Shipping, handling, compensation, adult beverage preferences in leiu of monetary compensation...

I got you covered David! I have a bunch of caps that I will not be using on Barfly. Are you going to Clinton? I am hoping to make it there for the last day or two if the stars align..... I can simply throw a few in my bag and deliver them to you in person.

Sounds good. If I am unable to make it, I will send you a PM for your shipping information.

I am REALLY hoping you are in sarcasm mode here.

If not it might explain a few things.

I think this time he actually is... But I understand how you might question it!
