Sourcing Shims and Fasteners for Goodrich Rohr Aircraft

Goodrich Rohr was long recognized in the aerospace and defense industries for its work in fabricating nacelles, thrust reversers, structural assemblies, and smaller supporting components. Absorbed through multiple acquisitions and reorganizations post 2012, Goodrich’s product lines now fall under Collins Aerospace’s and RTX Corporation’s oversight. While the Goodrich Rohr name is no longer actively used, many fleets continue to operate well beyond their original production timelines and still rely on components originally designed and produced under them.

Reliable access to legacy products can be a point of challenge for maintenance and procurement teams, but a large selection of authentic Goodrich Rohr shims and fasteners remain available through trusted aftermarket sources like JIT Aero. As an ASAP Semiconductor owned and operated procurement platform, JIT Aero presents a variety of authentic new, used, and obsolete aircraft parts to serve operators tasked with maintaining aging aircraft. To guide your purchasing activities, this blog will take you through some of the standout fastener and hardware products from Goodrich Rohr featured on this website.

Fasteners

Goodrich Rohr’s fasteners provide consistent clamping force and stability in environments characterized by vibration, aerodynamic loading, and thermal cycling. Their long service lives are largely reliant on their use of aerospace-grade alloys and consistency in thread forms, head styles, and shank geometries to match with existing system interfaces.

Some representative fastener types that you can find on JIT Aero include high-strength bolt part numbers like S700B1152-1 and 77458-12-60. Prized for their clamping force and repeatable installation, Goodrich Rohr’s bolts are specified to hold items in place under sustained loads without loosening or fatigue. Additionally, a variety of pins that either serve as pivots in actuator systems or as fixed-position retainers are listed, such as part numbers HL10VAZ5-3 and UP30070.

Hardware 

Alongside fasteners, Goodrich Rohr created a vast array of hardware to manage load transfer, wear at contact points, and other dynamic conditions that assemblies face during flight. Under this category, you can find bushing part numbers like 321-203-201-0, AFL433-702-1, S700B1423-507, and more. Placed in the interfaces between mating or moving surfaces, these simple, durable components preserve alignment and friction-free movement. Meanwhile, you can also locate diverse Goodrich Rohr brackets that provide a strong, compatible metal foundation for fasteners to attach to, such as part numbers 221-4877-503 and 740-0412-143.

Shims

In engine nacelles, pylons, and other aircraft systems that rely on proper foundation or component alignment, shims are a convenient option for creating this spacing without imposing major modifications. Many Goodrich Rohr shim part numbers are identifiable by shared prefixes that signal their type or the assembly they belong to. On JIT Aero, applicable series we stock include the:

• 740-Series: 740-series shims are associated with a laminated construction, having multiple thin layers of aluminum or stainless steel that technicians can remove in controlled increments to fit specific thicknesses. For example, part number 740-4002-009 is a classic laminated shim used in nacelles to perform high-precision gap adjustments.
• 290-Series: The “290” prefix frequently identifies solid shim part numbers like 290-0777-501. With a fixed thickness, they are employed for areas where the size of the existing space or needed distance is already known.

Why Procure Goodrich Rohr Parts Through JIT Aero?

When you are in the market for out-of-production Goodrich Rohr products, you can rest assured that JIT Aero selection is not inflated with non-compliant, low quality components. We operate under ASAP Semiconductor’s compliance-driven philosophy, which involves commitments like exclusively sourcing from thoroughly-vetted suppliers, following industry-recommended handling practices, and supplying complete documentation with orders to help customers verify every purchased item’s origin and suitability. 

While it is advisable to approach procurement with specific part numbers and relevant maintenance documentation in hand, our catalogs and search tools allow for flexible exploration by manufacturer, aircraft model, part number, product type, and more. Many of Goodrich Rohr hardware offerings were developed for their proprietary assemblies, but some fall under industry-standard designations that you can also use to locate functionally identical parts from different entities. In the event that any Goodrich Rohr item you are seeking is not listed on our website, our experts are prepared to track down replacements approved for your particular aviation maintenance project. 

Besides these major advantages, you can always rely on us to accommodate varying budgets, lead times, and other requirements with the most competitive fulfillment options.
