RETAINER

The 49145-9 is a genuine Textron Aviation retainer — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991. Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. As configurations differ across serials and modifications, validate this part against your aircraft's approved data before purchase. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require. Check effectivity and supersession status for your serial number so you order the currently applicable part. 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. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger. On a certificated airframe, part provenance matters as much as the part itself; genuine factory sourcing settles that question up front. Textron Aviation supports aircraft owners, operators, and MROs worldwide with genuine Cessna and Beechcraft parts from Wichita, Kansas.
