Cessna Brake Line Fairing Extrusion. Reduce drag!
This extrusion was original equipment on later model aircraft with flat gears. Many mechanics use this as an improvement for the earlier aircraft. |

Bought a set of these for my 170. Used gorilla glue, which may not have been the best, but worked well enough. Held in place with blue or green painters tape. Have been flying with them for a year or more now. I like the product enough that I am buying more for my new gear legs.
Great stuff, relatively quick and easy to install. Took my time and still got it done in a couple of hours. I used Loctite, gel type super glue. Starting at the top of the gear leg I applied drops of the glue in two rows to the leg and used blue masking tape crosswise the fairing every couple of inches to hold it while the glue set, working alternately side to side.
Not easy too install. I attempted SuperGlue as directions suggested. Did NOT work. Do NOT recommend
