Source for baffle fastener?
Does any one know a source for Baffle Fastener Cessna Part No. 0450277-1 as pictured on page 53 item # 42? I can find lots of suppliers of baffle kits, but none of the pictures show the fasteners or even mention them.

I'll have to give them a call and see if they will mail me one. I don't make it up to Anchorage too often. Do you have another name for their business? I get zero hits for "Cessna / Anchorage". Thanks.spiro wrote:Cessna. Usually in stock in Anch.

That would be some pretty small gauge welding rod. All I have on hand is 6011. Update... tig welding wire looks like it will work great. Now I just need to find a spring at the hardware store. Thanks!mit wrote:piece of welding rod with a spring.

Go to http://www.cessnaparts.com/parts.cfm?cf ... lient.cfid and enter your part number. The results will tell you to order a -201 for 21.42 ea. During my engine overhaul, I did quite a lot of business with these folks and I highly recommend them. Orders are sent out quickly, and all parts come with the 8130 forms.

A problem with piano wire is it will rust unlike .42 safety wire or stainless welding wire. Of course I'm just talking about making the hook wire not the spring. For that I choose appropriate springs from a friends spring collection and if he hadn't had them I'd have visited my local aeromotive spring section of ACE hardware.

To prevent/slow-down rust on plain steel parts like wire, etc., paint/dip it in phosphoric acid, let it darken, rinse, dry, and oil it. (Ospho and Phospho are commercial products found in hardware/big-box stores which are for this purpose.)
