To eliminate possible breakage or loosening of the wires leading to the landing gear safety switch with resultant malfunction of the landing gear safety switch accomplish the following:

(a) On the left main landing gear, inspect for broken and loose wires and terminals at the connections to the landing gear safety switch. Repair any broken or loose wires and terminals before further flight.

(b) Install Piper Kit No. 754475, or FAA approved equivalent, leaving sufficient slack in the wires between the new clamp and the safety switch to prevent pulling of the wires.

(Piper Service Letter No. 379, dated July 12, 1962, pertains to this subject.)

This directive effective September 28, 1964.
