Description
The MS21251-B8L is a genuine Textron Aviation turnbuckle body clip locking — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99.
Aircraft hardware is called out to a specific specification for each location; an off-the-shelf equivalent is rarely acceptable. Confirm fitment against your airframe's parts data — effectivity, modifications, and supersessions all affect which number applies.
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. Applicability should always be confirmed against the aircraft's IPC and effectivity records prior to fitting the part.
Because substitutions on type-certificated aircraft require approved data, the genuine part is the straightforward, compliant choice for this application. Using the factory part number preserves configuration control, so the airframe stays consistent with its approved type design and the work is straightforward to sign off at inspection.
Traceable OEM hardware keeps an aircraft's maintenance records defensible at annual, pre-purchase, and pre-buy inspections. Fitting the correct factory part the first time avoids the rework, removal, and re-inspection that an incorrect or unapproved part can trigger.
The company behind this part, Textron Aviation, builds and sustains the Cessna Citation, Beechcraft King Air, Bonanza, and Baron families from its home in Wichita, Kansas.
