bischoffm Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The part number in FED-LOG is A47024-2 Stock Number 5210002383299. I have attached the Mil-Spec of the 8 ounce plumb pump bob.MS15747 plumb bob.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Millen Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Trev, I have jacked dozens of C-130s and C-141s and never did I ever find or use a plumb bob. I would tie a string on the overhead location and at the bottom a heavy washer, nut or something else slim and heavy enough to hold the string tight without touching the gage by the rail and have one guy watch it and if it got out of plumb he would holler out to the outside jacking crew.....I'm sure there is no Home Depot near you but they have a good selection.

Plaprad Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm sure there is no Home Depot near you but they have a good selection. Muff That's what a scrounge bag is for. I've used a pen with a couple small washers on the string with it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyclark Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Any plumb bob will work, find a hardware store. Gravity's not just a good idea, it's a law. Edited September 22, 2010 by tinyclark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
