Boeing Landing Gear Found Near Ground Zero.

The part found and referenced to the casting serial number indicates that it is part of a Boeing 767 flap mechanism.

The aircraft mechanism found behind the Ground Zero “mosque” site belongs to a Boeing 767 — the same model as the airliners used on 9/11 at the World Trade Center, police confirmed yesterday. But aviation experts say a number stamped on the wreckage will likely not help determine which of the two 767s it came from. That number — BOEING CSTG 65B84045 — is a “casting number” not unique to the part or to the plane, said Alan Lery of Turbo Resources International, an Arizona aircraft-parts seller. It’s possible a number of parts on the mechanism have the same designation, he explained.

The NYPD issued a statement yesterday, "NYPD Crime Scene detectives have been in contact with Boeing officials who confirmed today that the wreckage is from a Boeing 767." The NY Post, though, reports, "Aviation experts say a number stamped on the wreckage will likely not help determine which of the two 767s it came from."

That number — BOEING CSTG 65B84045 — is a “casting number” not unique to the part or to the plane, said Alan Lery of Turbo Resources International, an Arizona aircraft-parts seller.
It’s possible a number of parts on the mechanism have the same designation, he explained.
“Sometimes, the airlines track every single part number that comes with the plane,” he said. “But not likely this.”

More evidence is needed, said Chuck Horning, who chairs the Aircraft Maintenance Science Department at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida.

“Being that both aircraft were Boeing 767-200s, they both likely had components with the same casting number,” Horning said.

The mosque's lawyer claims that someone planted the gear and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said that the NYPD is considering that possibility, since rope was found around the gear. The object is still there and may be removed tomorrow.

This strikes me as suspicious as the rest of the evidence was taken immediately. They seem to be dragging it out.

Was the rest of the evidence taken immediately? The landing gear strut in Park Place was removed three or four days after 9/11. Some small parts were never handed over to the authorities but kept by individuals involved in the recovery.

The following link explains the process that you find 'suspicious'. Seems pretty straight forward to me and especially with the different departments involved.
