Description

SIAI Marchetti S208 Parts Catalog May 1969 Illustrated Group Assembly List

This SIAI Marchetti S208 Parts Catalog May 1969 Illustrated Group Assembly List is the illustrated spare-parts catalog published May 1, 1969 by the Aircraft Service Division of SIAI Marchetti, Sesto Calende, Italy. It was prepared to identify and order replacement parts for the S208 airplane. The catalog is organized as an introduction, a group-assembly parts list with exploded figures, and a numerical parts list. Two complete-aircraft arrangements are listed: S 208-5 for the 5-seater and S 208-4 for the optional 4-seater.

How This Catalog Is Organized

Section I explains figure-and-index numbering, part-number columns, indented descriptions, units-per-assembly notes (including Ref and AR), the Availability column (NP for not procurable), and the Usable On Code column used when a part applies only to certain serials. Section II is the group-assembly parts list: exploded illustrations paired with six-column lists of figure/index, part number, description, units per assembly, availability, and usable-on code. Section III is the alphanumerical numerical index that points each part number back to its figure and index. An aircraft reference-stations drawing is included so station-located items can be placed on the airframe.

The catalog tells the reader to put the complete manufacturer part number on every order and to include model designation and serial number. Attaching hardware is listed immediately under the item it attaches, with a separator line after those fasteners. Indentation shows what arrives if an assembly is ordered versus a single detail part.

Taken together, those groups give a technician a station-oriented map of the S208 plus the part numbers needed to rebuild or restock each assembly. The SIAI Marchetti S208 Parts Catalog May 1969 Illustrated Group Assembly List does not replace a workshop manual; it is the illustrated identity and order document that sits beside one.

Aircraft Arrangements and Usable-On Notes

Figure 1 lists the complete airplane as S 208-5 (usable-on code A, 5 seater) and S 208-4 (usable-on code B, 4 seater optional). Matching fuselage, door, floorboard, and seat installations carry A or B codes. Other figure notes distinguish single versus dual brake installations, aircraft for Germany versus other aircraft, aircraft with an engine alternator, and aircraft with optional wing-tip fuel tanks. Where a figure uses serial breakpoints, the catalog prints those codes at the foot of the list, including serial 001 to 1-09 versus 1-10 and on, and serial 001 to 2-20 versus 2-21 and on. If no usable-on letter appears, the item applies to all serials covered by that figure.

Power Plant and Related Assemblies

Group 6 identifies the installed engine as O-540-E4A5, described as ENGINE ASSY, 260 HP (Lycoming), with Lord shock mounts J3804-20. Items supplied with the engine include Scintilla magneto LH type S6LN-200 (10-163010-10), Scintilla magneto RH type S6LN-204 (10-163050-9), Marvel Shebler carburetor model MA-4-5 (A10-4404), and Lycoming low-pressure fuel pump 75507. Surrounding installations cover the cowl and cowl doors, air box, exhaust and muffler, oil cooler and oil lines including the breather, engine and fuselage fuel lines, throttle and mixture controls, and baffle assemblies. Optional fuselage-and-wing fuel plumbing is broken out on its own figure.

Airframe, Gear, Controls, Instruments, and Electrical

Fuselage figures run from firewall and lower-structure stations through cabin door latch hardware, weather seals, pedestal panels, instrument-panel deck, seats, furnishings, vent scoop and valves, and cabin heat. Wing figures cover spars, leading and trailing structure, inboard tanks, ailerons, flaps, and the optional tip tanks. Tail figures cover stabilizer, fin, elevator, and rudder, including hinge brackets and travel stops called out on the fuselage structure lists.

Alighting-gear coverage includes nose-gear steering, main-gear drag-brace and knee-joint hardware (the introduction uses that brace as the indentation example), retract and emergency-extension drive parts, and both single and dual brake system layouts plus the brake cylinder. Surface-control figures identify cables, pulleys, bellcranks, the control column, rudder pedals, and the combined flap/rudder/elevator trim pedestal. Instrument figures list panel structure, instruments as installed, placards, pitot plumbing, and vacuum components. Electrical figures split wing, fuselage, engine/firewall, lighting, panel, and battery installations; engine-side electrical items include a 24V-40A Delco Remy voltage regulator and a Prestolite starter relay as supplied with the engine. Radio figures separate Narco and King VHF/VOR, ADF, and ILS installations. Group 10 lists loose tools and accessories such as the engine-oil funnel and spark-plug socket wrench where those items are cataloged.

Finding and Ordering a Part

When the part number is known, Section III gives the figure and index; the same index on the facing illustration shows the part in context. When only the location on the airplane is known, the table of contents points to the group figure, the illustration supplies the index, and the facing list supplies the part number and description. Bulk items such as weather seal and rubber extrusion are marked BI with cut lengths. NP rows are reference-only and are not ordered as spare assemblies. That lookup path is the practical core of the SIAI Marchetti S208 Parts Catalog May 1969 Illustrated Group Assembly List.

Use This Catalog for Identification, Ordering, and Assembly Context

With this file a restorer or maintenance shop can match a worn S208 fitting, skin, pulley bracket, landing-gear piece, cowl door, fuel line, or radio tray to the manufacturer number printed in 1969, see which attaching bolts and washers belong with it, and see whether the line is coded for the 4-seat or 5-seat airplane, single or dual brakes, or a listed serial break. Correct numbers and usable-on codes reduce mis-ordered hardware on an uncommon Italian airframe whose parts are no longer sitting on a dealer shelf. After payment the catalog is delivered as an instant PDF for any device and can be printed for the hangar bench. No shipping delay and no guesswork from an incomplete parts description.
