Bungee Boot

[mmoyle]

Mine looked like that...but dark blue. The slot went round the flap handle....wire at the top, buttoned together.. Then the bottom was tucked between the shock cords and floor boards.

Homer,

Thanks,


So far my clouds are full of rain and my brain hurts

Unfortunately, mine is apart as I'm doing the annual, but Homer is right ... it's a shock cord cover, not a flap handle cover (if that helps!). It does fit!

That being said, I'm looking at the picture you attached and it seems your hydroshocks seem to attach a lot higher in relation to the flap handle than in my Tripacer. I'll have to look at that when I get to the hangar.

Jim,

I bought the front half (I presume) of this cover a couple of months ago and after a lot of head scratching simply set it aside. The solution never popped into my thick head. I posted the question and several people tried to help but I just never could make it fit. I ran into the same issue where when I put it where I thought it should be the seat adjustment handle was in the way. Started to wonder if it was designed with the split seats in mind where the adjustment handles are not dead center.

In the end my brain hurt so I put it away. Please post LOTS of pictures once you figure out the puzzle.

I may be wrong, but I believe it is the boot that goes over the top of the hydrosorb inside the cockpit.

Ok, looked at mine and the reason I never have a problem getting it on is … the front panel has a "post-production" slit cut into it to clear the flap handle!

And my hydro shocks are as high as yours, too.

Chris,

So yours has a slit in the front???? Rather than the factory cut out. It looks like my front one will work but the rear one needs a slit/notch cut in it. I guess the alum. cover that goes over the tube and flap bell crank will hide anything I screw up
This piece of crap just might go into the tooooooooooo hard pile
Thanks,
Jim

The back one has the notch but a previous owner must've gotten fed up trying to figure out how to get the front on so he took a pair of scissors to it.

Good evening gents
I am trying to source the shock cord boot assembly(yes) for a '58 PA-22/20
I found boots on Univair site, but they only say they are for PA-22 but not if they are in fact the front and the back boot assemblies.
PN 12729-026 and 14087-000
Are these the same as Piiper # 12729-03, front and 12729-02 rear?

Thank you,
Grizz

There is no difference in the boot between a PA22 and a PA22/20. I linked your thread with another on the subject.
