CLAMP

The S1494-8 is a genuine Textron Aviation clamp — a fastening or retaining hardware item used in the airframe. It is fitted to the Caravan or Grand Caravan EX, Citation CJ2 or CJ2+, Citation CJ3, CJ3+, CJ3+ Gen 2, CJ3 Gen 3, SkyCourier, and Skyhawk. It carries an export classification of ECCN 9A991, weighs 0.01 lbs, and measures 0.85 (L) x 0.9 (W) x 0.2 (H) in. Because the S1494-8 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer. Because the Cessna Caravan, Citation, SkyCourier, and Skyhawk aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants. Strength grade and finish define aircraft hardware, so matching the specified part keeps the joint as designed. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require. Built by Textron Aviation, whose Cessna line was founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927 and joined Textron in 1992, this part carries one of general aviation's most storied names. The Cessna Caravan is a single-engine PT6-powered utility turboprop in continuous production since 1984, valued for its rugged versatility in passenger, cargo, and float operations.
