P. Ponk has re-engineered both the Outer Landing Gear Bracket and Inboard Angle Bracket for the Cessna 170, 180, 185. Our brackets are thicker, stronger, and much more corrosion resistant than the original Cessna parts.
P.Ponk's gear brackets are individually milled from high strength, cold rolled aluminum block. The extremely tight, random molucular structure of cold rolled aluminum, coupled with the high strength exterior coating we use make our gear brackets as corrosion resistant as possible.
Cessna gear brackets are manufactured using an extrusion process which is geared for high volume, lower cost production. As the aluminum is extruded the molecular structure of the material is altered which makes it more succeptable to developing intergranular corrosion. Shown here is a top view of an outboard gear bracket with severe intergranular corrosion. Note how the material expands and flakes off in layers. This is due to the re-allignment of the molecular structure that occurs during the extrusion process. Parts milled from cold rolled aluminum block do not develop this type of destructive corrosion.
