Hi John,
That’s good news.
I’m glad you asked the question–I hadn’t heard to Precision before I started searching.

FWIW, When I talked to Kim he told me that the parts would not be painted when they were returned.

Best,
Steve

Hi Thanks for the pointer.
I spoke with Kim there and he said that they can do the work.
Since we might be the first Aztec part he has repaired it would take a bit longer as they would ship the part to an engineering lab to test the materials and then he would have to do some FAA paperwork to get the part number added to their approved list. Once that was done then they could do the work and ship back a yellow tagged repaired part. As the first guy it would be about a month start to stop for the engineering, faa, and repair work.
The next person would have a much shorter period of time….
Kim seemed knowledgeable and the pricing was reasonable (in aircraft monetary units).

Trunnion would be around $1200. The collar would be around $350
These are March 2021 ESTIMATES…

Hi John,
The best information I could find is this company:https://www.precision-welding.com/trunnions.
Their website says it has approval to do many Piper Trunnions; unfortunately I didn’t see the Aztec on there but I would call them and see if the website is out of date.

Best,
Steve

Hello, I’m wondering if there are any places that can repair the nose wheel trunnion for a D Aztec.
The one I’m looking to buy has damage from being turned to far left and right. probably ground handling mistakes.

thanks
