If I'm not mistaken, Wipaire owns the Federal line. Call them at (651) 451-1205 and ask.

Call Steve at F. Atlee Dodge, 877-332-8533 and Bill at Stoddard's Aircraft Parts Center, (907)272-2327 in Anchorage, they sometimes have AWB2500 parts.

Atlee Dodge is an approved repair shop and can rebuild/remanufacture your old ones if they exist.

What is wrong with the rams you have? Can they be rebuilt or fixed? What does the FAA say about rebuilding them and does it matter to you?

Depending on how you want to anser the above questions, there is a hydraulic shop in Bismarck, ND that can fix anything. I take my more complicated hydraulic problems to him and have had cylinders come back better than new. This is a machine shop specializing in hydraulics, not FAA approved, but he does very good work.

I'm not trying to sell the shop, just like to see you get rams that don't cost $1,000.
