Description
The 0553045-3 is a genuine Textron Aviation left-hand fuel strainer hand bracket that mounts, locates, or braces a component within the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991.
Because the 0553045-3 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Across the Cessna Skyhawk fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Mounting and support hardware locates equipment, lines, or structure at defined points, and the exact part keeps everything positioned as designed. Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance.
Genuine sourcing means the part matches the drawing exactly, so fit and function are known quantities rather than a gamble at installation. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
