Cracked Trunion
by Tony Pitout » Wed Feb 22, 2017 1:20 pm
Hi all Im busy servicing/rebuilding/repainting my PA30 undercarrage. The reinforcing web in the RH trunion is cracked and the LH has a thick replacement web welded into the spot. Firstly, is this an acceptable repair and secondly, who fixes these things? In based in Durban, South Africa. I'm reasonably happy to send them to the USA for repair

Sounds like one has been modified already. That is most probably an S&B repair, and they are the ones that do most of the trunion repairs. S&B Industries Inc. Murray, UT, USA 84107 www.sbind.com

Assuming that is an S&B repair, and sounds like a repair that they do, it is approved and so repaired comes with an 8130. Also, check the nose gear drag links for excessive over-center. This is part of AD 77-13-21, Para A as described in SB 782B. If they are not within spec, Bruce at S&B can fix those too.
