Shimmy Damper
by Tidders » Mon Apr 10, 2017 6:13 pm
Our 1959 Comanche 250 (N84VK), based in the UK, is currently undergoing its Annual maintenance. All was going very well until it was decided that the aircraft needed a replacement shimmy damper. I have been told that these are difficult to locate and that there is only one company manufacturing the part (approx cost of GBP1200?).
Can anyone suggest a source for a refurbished and certified part?
Would be most grateful for any assistance.

Restarting this thresd!
My annual is showing up a damper that is corroded and leaking. Probably not repairable.
Are there any solutions?
Air parts have an stc one that is available but expensive.
