Stainless Steel Wheel Pant Brackets

(click on picture for larger view)

Stainless Steel Wheel Pant Brackets are made from .060 stainless steel and should fix the problem RV builders are having with the aluminum brackets.  These brackets are stronger and have increased durability in the high vibration area of the wheels.

These brackets fit all RV's with the pressure recovery wheel pants, except for the RV-8.

Use the instructions that came with your wheel pants provided by Van's for the RV aircraft.  We do recommend you drill the holes in the wheel pant brackets first and use those holes as a guide to drill the holes in the wheel pants.

 

  This set of Stainless Steel Wheel Pant Brackets sells for $100 plus shipping and handling and sales tax where applicable.  Order on line using the order form.

When you see this latch, you will wonder why someone hasn't made this improvement a long time ago.

It has a positive snap, and a spring holds it locked in position.

The 2 piece latch set comes as pictured  except no lighting holes have been made.
