Reviews
The piano hinge p/n MS20257P5 that I ordered was perfect. After a long conversation with the young lady on the phone we confirmed it was the right part. Delivered one week later. I was very happy with the service, although the cost of shipping was more than the part. Very helpful people. I will be back.

PIANO HINGE 3 FT # MS20257P5
Yes, there really is a difference. A piano hinge is a piano hinge, right? Wrong. Im doing a minor upgrade to my Experimental and needed a small piano hinge. I ordered one from Amazon and when it arrived I realized it would not do. Poor quality, heavy and it already had holes. I sent it back and ordered one from Aircraft Spruce. Perfect, aircraft, quality. And it wasnt, that much, more expensive. You get what you pay for.

All of the part numbers listed in the table above with the designation "C" in the part number. For example, MS20257C1-3 would be stainless.
We use a metal chop saw to cut, but other cutting tools can be used to cut it for a specific length.
The length is notated in the part number. A -3 at the end denotes a 3 ft length, a -6 denotes a 6 ft length. For example, 03-00047-3 is a 3 ft piece, 03-00047-6 is a 6 ft piece.
