I noticed some one bought some used leed lag dampener's on eBay. i would not recommend this. because if there old enough they will fail. they need to be separated from the cage.to properly check them.to see if they are debonded.this causes main blades to leed to much . and to see how much they have collapsed. this will cause the main blades to lag to much.and using shims only mask bad dampeners. also you'll have to keep balancing the rotor system...week dampeners..i went threw this with my other old brantly. 2 sets till i bought new ones what will you do when one fails 2or 3 hrs away let her set. i think this is the cause of main blade premature cracks. used parts is OK tho just gotta no what your buying its like buying old car tires the are dry rotted... blow... out . save time and money and see Gary G or Harold J . for new ones......be safe and happy flying..tom
