Is NG-KT-155 a replacement for the Cessna service kit?
The NG-KT-155 service kit is a fully compatible alternative to Cessna service kit SK210-155. It supports the same maintenance action outlined in SEB95-20 and provides improved availability and value. The kit itself is non-approved, though FAA-PMA approved components are included.
How do I know which screw kit to use?
The screw kit depends on if the holes in the floor of your airplane have been carefully removed and are close to new size or if they have been enlarged by unskilled rivet removal or the rails have been changed before. It will make a difference if the previous rails installed were Cessna rails with predrilled holes in the rail. (They do not normally line up well and the floor has been mis-drilled some to force them to align). If the holes are good, use the SR6-SCREW-KT kit. If the holes are enlarged some, use the SR8-SCREW-KT kit.
Can I buy the parts separately?
Yes. McFarlane offers MC1290009-2 downlock pins, MC1290009-3 drill tool, or NG-KT-155 complete service kit.
