Doorstop Bracket

The 0517018-8 is a genuine Textron Aviation doorstop bracket that mounts, locates, or braces a component within the airframe. It fits the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.04 pounds, and measures 2.45 (L) x 1.3 (W) x 1.1 (H) Inches. Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the 0517018-8 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records. Because the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. A support or bracket component holds a system or structure in its correct place, so the right part preserves alignment and clearance. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk. Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today. Request a quote for 0517018-8 or browse more Cessna Skyhawk parts on Flying411.
