I will try posting this picture. Can anyone tell me if these are a cessna part or from one of the ski manufacturers. I could not find them in the IPC.
Thanks, Paul

Paul,
Here's your picture, but sorry I don't know the answer to your question.
P.S. To post your picture I first found it in the Gallery, then I right clicked on the photo and viewed it's properties, that's where I found the real URL to the photo and I copied that URL to this post.

ski brackets
Hi Paul, I am pretty sure what you have are the old original Federal Ski brackets. I think Fluidyne Engineering bought out Federal many years ago and Wipaire bought out Fluidyne....
I've seen those brackets listed on ski installation dwgs. used on federal and fuidyne skis both.
I once saw what happend when an owner/ pilot and his son installed their skis. The son did not get the ski bracket under the heads of the 2
AN4 bolts that hold the MLG wedges in place... They took off and one of the ski brackets slid down the gear leg, the ski turned upside down!!!!
We called the pilot and asked what he was going to do,,, he said fly around a while and then crash!! Well it was March, the runway was real icy, he landed, the weight went on the upside down ski,the check cable broke and flew into the new hartzell prop and tore a chunk out of one blade but otherwise did not hurt the plane...
Most ski installers use the atlee dodge S.S. brackets on the upper firewall attach point....Mark
