Comparing Sidewinder Repair Kits # RP86005 and # RP94316

Question:

What exactly is the difference between kit # RP86005 and #RP94316 besides price ? I can see that the description says one is for use on 16,000lb and the other is for 16,000 or 19,000 but they look to be the same kit unless there is some difference in the materials they are made of.

Repair kit # RP94316 is designed for 5th Airborne Sidewinders whereas # RP86005 is for 16k and 19k Sidewinders only, not the air ride models. The kits are very similar though because a lot of the parts are the same or similar. But I advise using the kit for the type of Sidewinder you have to ensure compatibility.
