I put these on my C-172 about 30 years ago and they are still working great! My flying buddy has a 172 and is interested in obtaining a set of these. I have tried the phone #, but with no luck.
Does anyone know if these can still be purchased and if so have
valid contact information?

    Hi, I've been looking all over and at this point I can't find the company and only one reference from a fellow in 2009 looking for them, too. It is possible you might find an old, used one from Wentworth or other boneyard, but that would appear to be about it. Sorry!

    Just an idea...the Door Steward attachment works in a similar fashion, holding door open. They are available at Aircraft Spruce.

    You're brilliant, Kent. I have a door steward in my current and last plane. Great idea. Here's a link: https://www.knots2u.net/door-steward-kit-cessna-single-engine-models-mv200c10/

    Scott...fascinating marketing with the “leg” included in the Door Steward photo...
