Description
The MS21140U1008P is a genuine Textron Aviation fastener blind — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe.
Fastening and retaining hardware may look simple, but grade, size, and finish are specified for the joint each secures — the correct part matters. Applicability should always be confirmed against the aircraft's IPC and effectivity records prior to fitting the part.
The factory part is built to the manufacturer's material and dimensional specification, so it installs as designed without the surprises a generic equivalent can bring. 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. An unapproved or surplus substitute can introduce fit, material, or paperwork problems that surface at the next inspection; the genuine part avoids that risk.
Because aircraft parts are governed by strict airworthiness and traceability rules, fitting the OEM part rather than an unapproved equivalent keeps the installation eligible and the aircraft's records clean.
Textron Aviation's roots reach back to Clyde Cessna's 1927 company and the Beech family's 1932 firm, both founded in Wichita, Kansas.
