flyboy0681 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Other than Lasar, does anyone know where I can get a tailpipe clamp for an '83 J? The part number was told to me as being 630118-003. Fantom, if we can't get one installed this week we'll need to scrub Saturday's mission.

Hank Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 What, you mean this? It was cut from the sidewall of my old nose tire . . . By my IA, at annual. Looked just like the broken one it replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy0681 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Yup, that's the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is designed a little bit differently than yours but serves the same function. At least, that is what was broken on mine. I don’t remember the part number. Jim I have one from an F. It looks just like Hanks above. I can take a picture of it tomorrow when I'm out at the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeev Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Give Kinsley a call they may have one laying around. They have always been helpful to me. https://knisleyexhaust.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusku Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I've broken 3 of these clamps in the past 70 hours since I've owned the airplane. Anyone else have trouble with these? I don't believe I have unusual vibration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in good condition when I replaced the exhaust so it was reused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't right, but I think he is going to live to fly another day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never paid it any attention. She's been annualed by 3 different IAs in the 11 years I've owned her, and even the one who cut the new strap from my old tire and helped replace it after he pointed out that it was broken didn't say anything . . . What do they say about a new set of eyes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have trouble with these? I don't believe I have unusual vibration. I’ve had problems too. I suspect it’s due to improper installation that doesn’t allow flexibility along the proper plane. Frankly, I don’t understand why that short tube is supported by two brackets, not one. In any event, my current one seems to be OK. Som I’m not touching it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INA201 Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Got one installed at Cole Aviation a couple of months ago. Give them a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
