Door Latch Spring

Post by husabeast »

Does anyone have the instructions on how to build the door latch spring? I see this subject discussed at length, but can't seem to find the instructions that were posted in the past. Thanks

If you're talking about "mousetrap" springs, part # 04115554, there's a guy in the 170 association that will make a pair for $15 + postage. If you want to contact him, PM me and I'll send you his email.

Yes, that's Bruce Fenster,

At your request, I can make fresh "mousetrap" springs, part # 04115554, for your door latches. This is a copy of the original door catch spring. Fits all years and models of Cessna 170. Two springs for $15+ mailing. Also, available door handle return springs found on serial 27373 and on, but retrofittable to all model door latches, part #0511119. Two springs for $25+ mailing. Email brucefenster@gmail.com.
