3.6 INSTALLATION OF D350-607-431 STRUT RETROFIT KIT
IMPORTANT: Installation of the D350-607-431 Strut Retrofit Kit on aircraft equipped with Dart
saddles requires that hardware shown in Figure 6 fastening the crosstubes to the Dart saddles be
reversed in order to prevent interference with the D4775-041 Strut Assembly. This must be done
prior to the installation of the D350-607-431 Strut Retrofit Kit (See Figure 6). To use the D350-
607-431 Strut Retrofit Kit, the aircraft must be equipped with high gear.
3.6.1 Remove the lower (qty 2) D3910-3 X-Tube Lugs and replace with qty (1) D3910-7 X-Tube Lug on
the Fwd Crosstube per Figure 6a and qty (1) D3910-5 X-Tube Lug on the Aft Crosstube per
Figure 6b.
NOTE: It is acceptable to reuse the existing hardware as well as the D3984-080 Rubber
Extrusion. However, they should be inspected for suitability for continued service. Replace if
necessary.
3.6.2 Install (qty 2) D4776-3 Skidtube Clevis on the inboard side of each skidtube saddle in
accordance with Figure 6. Note that the installation differs for installation on OEM or Dart
skidtube saddles, refer to Figure 6. Torque fasteners on Dart Skidtubes to 50-70 in-lbs
(5.6 – 7.9 N-m). Torque fasteners on OEM skidtubes per applicable aircraft
maintenance manual.
3.6.3 Install (qty 2) D4775-041 Strut Assemblies as shown in Figure 6. Adjust the rod end to
achieve the proper installation length. Check the witness holes located at the bottom end of
the D4775-041 Strut Assemblies to ensure that the thread from the rod end extends past the
witness hole. Torque fasteners to 160-190 in-lbs (18.1 – 21.5 N-m).
3.6.4 Remove the existing D4086-X Placard and replace with D4917-X Placard as per Table 3
below.
NOTE: On later change number baskets, the D4086-XXX and D4917-XXX placards should be
applied using the placard’s self-adhesive and then riveted to the basket using MS20600AD4W3
rivets.

3.7 INSTALLATION OF D350-607-503/-505 LIGHTWEIGHT WEBBING REPLACEMENT KIT
3.7.1 De-rivet the MS20600AD4W4 Rivets retaining the D4029-041/-043 Webbing.

3.7.2 At the installer’s discretion, drill a Ø0.161 hole in the end of the basket lid and tip the lid to collect
all of the rivet stems at the corner of the lid frame. Inject expanding foam inside the frame to trap
all stems. Plug the hole in the lid frame with an MS20600AD5W2 rivet.
3.7.3 Install the replacement D4029-041/-043 Webbing using the hardware provided with the kit as
shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: There are an extra qty (5) MS20600AD4W4 Rivets provided with each kit.
