Leaf spring guard

[tshort]

Anyone have any pictures for this part?
I looked up the part number in the parts manual and found it on iwantcessnaparts.com , but it's listed as applicable to the 182 and 210 and costs 180$. I'm thinking (hoping) that is the wrong part number.
I don't really know what I'm looking for so an installed pic would be helpful.

I can't really believe it would cost almost 200$ when the whole tailwheel spring assembly for both sides only cost 19$.

(Tell Pete and/or Su I said hi.)

You should have their part numbers handy, as they are different than the 170 part numbers. Since you won't likely have their parts catalog, here's the part numbers:

Part: 0642108 shackle, 0642125 guard, AN4H21A bolt, MS2104/AN4 nut

I recommend slipping a short section of rubber hose/tubing over the shank of that bolt when you install it. It's not absolutely necessary, but many do it to keep the bolt from rubbing the spring.

Thomas, call Pete like George suggested. I did and got all the parts listed above shipped to AK in less than 4 days and for far less than a C-note! I was going to post a picture but I've got too much paint on my tail spring for the part to fit. I'll have to work on that.
