This baffle wire and spring kit contains the necessary wires and springs for you to create the baffle fasteners that will then fit on your Cessna 172 w/Cont O-300.

The C-172 kit contains:

  • 10 each 6" wires for making:
    • 0450211-1
    • 0450211-2
    • 0450277-201 (0450277-1)

  • 12 each springs (0450277-11)
  • An extra 12" wire, just in case...
  • Wire bending template

Some kits cover multiple years and models. To simplify the ordering, we have included all the wires and springs necessary for you to make the baffle fasteners for your aircraft. Depending on your specific year, make, and/or serial number, you may have an extra spring and wire along with the extra wire provided in each kit.

If you purchased the correct kit and you find you don't have the correct number or correct lengths of wires or springs, please contact us ASAP and we will make it right.

The wires and springs in this kit are not TSO or PMA.

You will finish producing the baffle fastener by cutting the wire to the length needed, using the old wire or the provided template to make the “hook” end, and assess the quality of the part before installing it. By doing these three steps, you have assisted in producing the baffle fastener.

By finishing the wire to its proper length and shape, you have participated in the design and manufacture of the part. It will be your sole responsibility to ensure the quality of the part meets the required quality level. For more information on Owner Produced Parts, please see 14 CFR 21.9(a)(5) and FAA Advisory Circular 20-62E.

The wires and springs are made from zinc coated ASTM A-228 music wire. They were tested against OEM Cessna baffle wires and passed our rigidity, bend retention, and dead weight testing.

Tip from the Field:
The last image shows a tip we received from a customer that did not have any of the old wire to use as a template. They installed the straight wire with the spring as normal. Then they pushed on the head of the wire compressing the spring completely and marked the wire where the hole is. Measuring up a 1/4" they made another mark where they started the bend.
