Fleet upkeep
Spare parts
Cones, pins, clips and original fasteners: the parts that are meant to be replaced.
The connection is the structure
A hardware-store pin fits the hole, holds the section together and changes the load path. Nothing on site will reveal it: not the build, not the visual inspection, not the first hundred handlings. That is why these parts are not substituted.
The wear parts
What cannot be replaced →Connection cones
The part that carries load from one section to the next. Wear on the cone or its seat means replacement.
Pins
By family and by diameter. A pin from another family can fit and still not carry.
R-clips
The most-lost part in any inventory, and the only one whose absence is visible from ten metres. Order them by the bag, not by the piece.
Bolts and nuts
Original grade and length. Hardware-store fasteners fit the hole and change the load path.
Traceability labels
Re-issued against the laser marking. This is what keeps an older part attached to its certificate.
How to order
Through the dealer in your territory, with the parent part number or a photo of its label. Order clips by the bag: it is the most-lost part in any inventory, and the only one whose absence is visible from ten metres.
