FASTENER

The S3412-108 is a genuine Textron Aviation fastener used to fasten, secure, or retain components during assembly of the airframe. It is applicable to the Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.01 pounds, and measures 0.85 (L) x 0.35 (W) x 0.45 (H) Inches. Because the S3412-108 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer. Parts like this are shared across the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, reflecting how much structure and hardware these models have in common. Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. Genuine factory parts carry the documentation and traceability that maintenance and airworthiness records depend on — assurance a look-alike substitute cannot provide. 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. 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. With over 44,000 built, the Cessna Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft ever made and is still produced today.
