Landing gear lift bracket

dentistpilot · Post by **dentistpilot** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 1:03 pm

I understand that there is a bracket available somewhere that fastens to a gear leg, for jacking it up, to change tires, for example.
Anybody know where I might find one?
Otherwise, I was advised to clamp two lengths of 2 X 4's to the gear and lift under them.
Thanks for any advice.
Jim

I bought one off ebay. I think there is someone that makes them and sells them there frequently - it was around 20$.
Well made, with some sort of coating on the inside to help protect the paint.

Made my own but used the 2x4 method previous to that which works pretty well.

They are available all the time on Ebay. Take a look at least in order to get an idea how to make your own.

I use a slip on step like what 4 stripes described last year and is now sold by a guy in New Hampton, IA.

If you reverse the "step", it becomes a jack point.

The "Universal Jack Point" can also be seen in the IPC for the 170A & B - figures 75 & 102 respectively... in the back of the book with all the "optional equipment".

Thanks to all of you for your replies.
The part from Wag Aero was the easiest to order, so I did that. May still try the 2 x 4 method.
