Description
The MS21122C12 is a genuine Textron Aviation clamp — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. Applicability can depend on effectivity blocks and service bulletins; check the IPC and any applicable SBs for your tail number before fitting this part.
OEM parts arrive to the specification the type design was certified against, preserving both airworthiness and the airframe's documented configuration. Cross-check the part number against your maintenance and parts documentation to confirm fit and current effectivity for your airframe.
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. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Textron Aviation's roots reach back to Clyde Cessna's 1927 company and the Beech family's 1932 firm, both founded in Wichita, Kansas.
