The Trader/Tracker has 8 wedge shaped protrusions on the nose landing gear strut door. Does anyone know the purpose of these metal wedges?
Thank you!!!

I worked on them in the U.S. Navy. My picture was taken for "Naval Aviation News" doing the eternal job of cowling dzus fasteners in Aug . of 77, on the very last one to leave NAS Norfolk, Va. I also worked on the stations T-28s. My Dad was also in the Navy and was an Aircrewman on elint aircraft, such as the Martin Mercator, Lockheed EC-121 , and first Lockheed EP-3A. I retired from the Navy in 1990, and work for the Coast Guard on H-60 rescue helicopters.

If these guys are looking for other trackers or parts thereof, there is a hanger full of them at West Sale airport, they are formally of the R.A.N. they have been sitting there since the mid 90's, and i have since found out that they are for sale,I would love to see them either restored or salvaged to repair others, would be a shame to see them go to scrap. you can contact the owner by email,

@SgtGrant23 it's owned by the Navy historic flight at HMAS Albatross. There is talk of the historic flight being shut down soon as a result of no more funding from the Navy, so not to sure what will be done with it after that.
