Flap Springs

They are not the springs for a 140.

They are unique to the 1948 170 Ragwing.
We had a minimum order made a few years ago (12 min I think).
They were manufactured by the Wichita Coil Spring Company.

I will have to look in my workbench to comment further.

They are listed in Univair 170 parts manual (not with me right now) and I bought new springs from Cessna when I recovered my wings a few years ago.
