Post subject:  Part Number Books Needed

Hello All,

I am looking for manufacturer specific hardware part number catalogs or manuals of any sort for Lockheed, North American, Douglas, Martin, Grumman, and Boeing. I need to identify over 750K lbs of bolts rivets nuts etc. etc. numbers needed would be for aircraft built from 1935 through 1985 in Burbank, Inglewood and greater Los Angeles area.
I will pay top top dollar for copies or originals

Thanks in advance !

This is probably not much help to you, but the hardware part numbers you are looking for are proprietary to the airframers you listed and are considered intellectual property.

That being said, unless it is something special, it probably crosses over to a MIL-SPEC or a vendor part number. You might check with some of the fastener companies or with some of the online services that have popped up like IHS (http://parts.ihs.com/products/procurement/catalogxpress-vendors/index.htm).

Yes I know.
However I have found some manuals for the P38 and Constellation that have the govt part number and lockheed "poo"#.

Also I have some douglas # books
I know there is more out there

As for the generic AN Nas and MS numbers I have all of those books already.
We are hunting specific machined parts and various fabbed items part numbers for all of the models built from 1938 to about the late 80's (out of Burbank especailly)

Most of the hardware boxes are marked with both numbers I am trying to decipher them. The ones that have the aircraft company on them are easy its the boxes without logos or aircraft models that are the puzzle

ok here is an example I have 10 boxes of 10 each with this on them as I write it here.......

PLANT: INGLEWOOD

STK no: 6590-700093-329
NAS 101-296
Nomenclature: Welded Assy Tube Steel
DATE: 6-3-57
Method Packaged: Method 3
Contract # AF14(604)4983

I suspect its for Northrop or North American as that was the pallet it was on. Also the NAS 101-296 doesnt show up in my bible of NAS numbers

Here is another one......


40 bags of these....

MBAD-5306-206-5358
BOLT
5 EA.
AF04(647)-114
Douglas Aircraft co.
1-7-1958


now multiply this by 750,000 and thats what i have to dig through and identify

The run of the mill AN NAS and MS stuff I have handled. its these GOVT "530" numbers and variations that are giving me the headache

Quote:
Welded Assembly - Tube, 3/8 O.D., Steel, Threaded Rod Ends Superseded - October 1946 (Rev. 1) [Use: AIA/NAS NAS 358]

NAS-101 WELDED ASSEMBLY - TUBE, 3/8 O.D., STEEL, THREADED ROD ENDS

INACTIVE FOR NEW DESIGN USE NAS 358

ENG. REF.: Standard for use with NAS-98, NAS-99 and NAS-100 Control Rod Assemblies or any similar assemblies.


-296 means it is a 296" long tube fillet welded to two AN490-6 threaded rod ends.

I got this from IHS "Specs & Standards." The AN Spec was approved in June 1942.

5306 is the FSC (Federal Supply Class) for bolts.

00-206-5358 is the NIIN (National Item Identification Number- you have to add the leading 00 to the NIIN nowadays)

Quote:


These were last bought in 2007 for $8.33 each by the Navy, Air Force and Defense Logistics Agency.

Info from IHS "Haystack."

you are hired!

So what aircraft did this stuff go on ?

Author:  bdk [ Wed May 28, 2008 3:47 pm ]
Post subject: 

Your guess is as good as mine, but the bolts are still being procured and in inventory...

Any contract numbers are so old and the aircraft obsolete in the government inventory that they aren't in the current (electronic) system so it is hard to track.

I wish I knew of an online site to look up obsolete contract numbers.

I never did! When I was looking to buy a military truck from DRMO you could click on the link for the truck and there it was. I just learned to replace the NSN at the end of the old truck URL.

Glad to help! I'd be pleased to see all your parts find loving homes.

If you happen to find any new in the wrap T-6 props blades or buckets of machine gun parts, let me know! :wink:

:P no guns or props....

And not much AT6 stuff yet that we have run across
Actually we found some early bolt packs with "EC3" on them with N/A Aviation printed on the slip. Have no idea what they go on though


REMEMBER JUST HARDWARE!

actually if you could help me find a home for the electrical stuff that would be great. I want to dump it all ( cheap ) to one collector / dealer /mechanic when its sorted out to make room for the titanium stuff coming in now
