In case that the specialist is available there. The company location is close to the front unfortunately.

Socata/Daher keep a list of which distributors have which parts
We must be grateful that someone is keeping the type certified, but:
-The price of the same part is not the same along the distributor network
-Daher is not ready to sell directly, but sometime the people from Daher is offering
some parts directly while reading/writing on FB related groups.
-The AOG have strange meaning in Daher and associated distributor network
That all learned from the front axle AD issued in 2023. and one engine strut case for our O-200A
There’s an article about an MS fly in at Tarbes in Info-Pilote. Apparently Socata/Daher keep a list of which distributors have which parts, and also provide copies of the original plans for out-of-production parts on demand for those who want to make them themselves. Morello in Ukraine do Rallye canopies (among other things). Just repeating what I’ve read, but hopefully this might be helpful to someone.
On the positive side- I found that they have a still valid Part-145 certificate (last updated 2016) with multiple locations across poland. On the other hand they are not answering to emails sent from homepage..
You’re very welcome. Good luck.
I looked at the published Franklin street address in Poland on Google Maps Street View, and if they’re at that address its not much presence. There’s a restaurant shown in the same unit. Email or telephone might work and I’d guess somebody will answer

Answer to hanski
I have no aknoledge in mecanic,i will ask it to my mécano.
I have two tanks from 90 l,but i don’t have to swich the tanks.They are linked
There are a few small/tiny US companies that support Franklin operators at some level. There is also the Polish organization that bought the Franklin engine rights in the 1970s (along with separate rights to produce the Koliber) and still operates at some level. I’d send a few emails and see if they can provide parts or info.
Caveat emptor, from previous research (I was once interested in buying a Franklin powered Bellanca) I understand these companies have varying reputations from good to not so good. A couple of them are/were in reality just one person. Second or third hand information says ‘Franklin Parts’ in Jewett Texas may be reliable if the people in Poland can’t help.
Question to the Morane owners/pilots here- does anybody know where to get parts for the Franklin engine – specifically the fuel pump . The Morane our club owns has an automotive pump which is supposed to be replaced by the geared pump 10+ years ago..
Just happened to see this old comment about gas coming out… I have never had that in my 880B but this question may explain why each venting tube includes a one way valve. That valve lets air to ram inward and tries to prevent leakage outward for example if the air gets warm – so the expanding air is probably forced to go out through the fuel cap holes.. or perhaps I am wrong, anyone knows better??
Ralley, do you have these one way valves in tubes perhaps missing?
Our tanks might as well be different – mine has 85 litre tanks which is not common for 880B and if yours has 48 litres they may act differently.
Thanks for that report that i found …now.Sorry that there is not much about the Rallye MS 892 …
I am owner of a MS 892 and i love my airplane.All what you wrote is similar with mine Rallye.I have one problem not mentionned and it seems the same problem on most Rallyes.
When i fill completely my petrol tank,there is always petrol coming out my tank,what may be ennoying for the take off.Do you have the same problem.
I agree completely ,the Rallye is a classic and one of the most secure airplane never built.
