Description
The MS21245-L8 is a genuine Textron Aviation nut — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It is applicable to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX and Citation Mustang. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.02 pounds, and measures 0.8 (L) x 0.75 (W) x 0.4 (H) Inches.
Supplied directly by Textron Aviation as an original-equipment (OEM) part, the MS21245-L8 meets the manufacturer's specification and keeps the aircraft configuration-correct, with clean traceability in the maintenance records.
Across the Cessna Caravan and Citation fleet, correctly identified factory parts like this keep every airframe consistent and configuration-correct.
Fastening and retaining hardware may look simple, but grade, size, and finish are specified for the joint each secures — the correct part matters. Sourcing the OEM part protects the airframe's configuration and keeps its service history consistent, which matters for both airworthiness and resale value.
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.
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. The Cessna Caravan is a single-engine PT6-powered utility turboprop in continuous production since 1984, valued for its rugged versatility in passenger, cargo, and float operations.
