Our experience is that if you order from Air Repair you will receive airworthy parts. No need to order more than you need. (and no need to reduce the inventory for others who might need it in the future).

Are you sure Air Repair states they are “salvage” parts? They normally stock mostly NOS parts, as they purchased all the inventory of the old Ector L-19 warehouse. (Ector was subsequent owner of the type cert from Cessna)

Thank you for the fast reply, George. Agreed.

As far as “salvage”, perhaps I misunderstood what they said. I defer to your longstanding relationship with them.
