There’s a rubber pad, NSN 9320-00-074-3105, that partially protects the
honeycomb. But it’s not strong enough to withstand the impact of the cap or
fuel nozzle.
If
the
honeycomb
behind
the rubber pad looks like a
woodpecker’s been hammering
away at it, clean, inspect and
repair minor damage like it says
in Task 2-2-80 and 2-2-81 of
TM 1-1520-248-23, EM 0246.
Remove
the
rubber
pad,
repair the honeycomb and install
a new rubber pad like it says in
task 2-2-98 of TM 1-1520-248-
23, EM 0246.
So avoid letting the cap or nozzle hit the rubber pad and you won’t have to Fx the
honeycomb panel later. If your Kiowa Warrior does not have a rubber pad installed,
make sure you install one.
WP 0537 00 of TM 1-1520-237-23-7 gives the inspection criteria for determining
whether you can service a damper indicator. Repairs to an indicator can be done
within certain limits like the TM says. There are also procedures that tell you when
the dampers must be replaced or are damaged beyond repair.
If you replace a damper indicator, you must use the locally-made damper indicator
insertion and installation tools.
The instructions to make these tools are in ±igs 165 and 166 of WP 1085 in TM
1-1520-237-23-20.
If you can’t make the tools in the machine shop, all is not
lost. You can order them from the manufacturer on a DD ±orm
1348-6. Enter “Damper Indicator Tool” for the part number.
Use CAGE Code 55723. The tools cost $150 dollars.
They are the folks who make the damper
indicator, so you can bet your bottom dollar
the tools will work.
