Therefore, the following must be accomplished: (a) Replace the main gear retraction links with revised assembly Navion P/N 143- 33165-20, Temco P/N 57001-9 or FAA approved equivalent having the longer lap welded center section that completely covers the turned down part of the end fitting. (b) Replace the nose gear retraction link with revised assembly Navion P/N 145- 34106-20, Camair P/N 1-6031 or FAA approved equivalent having the longer lap welded center section that completely covers the turned down part of the end fitting. (c) Approval of equivalent parts shall be obtained from an FAA Regional Engineering and Manufacturing Branch or Aircraft Engineering Division, as appropriate. This supersedes AD's 61-12-04 and 62-14-04. This directive effective November 1, 1963. Revised August 25, 1965. FOOTER:
