Birdstrike. Need Part # for 337C
Dad killed a red-tailed hawk with his starboard landing light lens cover. Never even knew it until he started to put it in the hangar. The problem is neither of us have a parts manual handy(mine's 70 miles away in Nashville and his is in Naples). Does anyone know the part number for the replacement lens?

I think you want a 1422550-12 if your aircraft S/N is up to 337-0379 or 1422550-20, which is the more current number. But it's for the entire lamp assembly, and there's no P/N for just the lens. See figure below. Shouldn't be hard to find from yards that disassemble aircraft. Try Don Nieser first at 405-503-4686 or 405-722-4079.

Try here. Cheapest I have found if Don doesn't have it.
Good quality. Comes PMAed. Installing it is interesting if the aircraft is STOL equipped. http://www.glapinc.com/estore/index.php?cPath=639_66 |

Dad got the part from Great Lakes Aero Plastics. $35 plus shipping and handling. He received the part Thursday morning, got all the screws out of the frame O.K. and the new lens fit perfectly. Done.
He killed a hawk with his Skymaster and it cost him less than $50 for repairs. It probably would have cost more if I had killed one with my car. Thanks Ernie and K337A for your help. Randy Hurt (N6297F) Ron Hurt (N2577S) |

The real jewel here is K337A finding just the lens at Great Lakes Aero Plastics. This "find" was important enough that I added Great Lakes to the source list on the Parts Purchasing page of my "backup" Skymaster website at www.SkymasterUS.com

During my re-furbish last winter, I had visited GLAP in Flint, MI to pick up my new windows for the complete cabin. They were a lot of help and great prices too. Below is a link to the thread that describes my process of taking the old windshield to them to size up the new one and simplify the process. I too highly recommend them.
http://www.337skymaster.com/messages...?t=2309&page=4 Windshield install horror We started to install the windshield last night. Within about 2 hours we had it trimmed and ready to mount. Amazing, I was really fearing this process but it went slick. I owe a big thanks to the guys at Great Lakes Aero for fitting this new windshield while I was there at their factory. I was able to take my old windshield to them when I picked up my new units. They took my old windshield and fitted the new unit to my old one. I can only think that this may have helped in the fitting process last night. If fact the first time we tried to fit the w/s last night we actually pushed it right into place with minimal effort. We had to trim a little on the starboard lower side and that was about it.
