Shouldn't the prop bolts be safety wired?

Do you think it would be good to check and document the rudder balance before stripping the paint?
I know people have been surprised how far the balance is off AFTER the job is done.
This way there will have a baseline on the balance when it was flying.

You can also contact Nuvite for suggestions.

I always used G7 with a rotary 6 inch fleece pad and go back and forth. You can blend it in so it can barely be visible. F series is even more agressive.

That makes sense now except for the year. So when imported to Canada, does the data plate change with the N to C tail number? Have a great New Year and hope to see you at OSH this summer.

Hi Jim, Hope all is well. Perhaps the registration in the US was deregistered and now it is in the Canadian system. I am not sure how to look that up if we even can do it. All straight 170s were 48 manufacture and I owned sn 18041 which was earlier than his and it was 1948. A pic of his data plate o...

It was manufactured in 1948 as the straight 170's were. This N number (N2571V) has been "Deregistered" If this is a project, it is recommended to try to get it registered as soon as possible and to request the same N number. I am aware of a different airplane that is being restored and it ...

The baggage area behind the seats is enclosed in green canvas. This same material is on top of the seat springs. So I will see whats under the side, door, and seat panels. A 48 I owned had the green canvas in the baggage compartment. That is original and heavy. Since it might be worn out, have one ...

You have enough evidence to prove that the upholstery is original. The vinyl design on the rear seat matches what I have seen even on 48's. The fabric appears a little darker than I have seen but as an Oshkosh judge, the picture and a fabric sample in the presentation book would be enough evidence t...

Probably original.

Search this 170A as it is probably one of the best 170A restorations. I believe Steve sold it but there are alot of articles and pictures out there:

Steve Jacobson, Fort Worth, TX
1950 Cessna 170A, N5752C

I'll send you a separate email so you can get me a picture.
Thanks!

Gary (n2582d) posted pics (above) of the material that I have.
Thx, Dan

I have brown material that was under upholstery that was added to an early 48 170.
I can't post pictures since I am not a paying member.

Might also consider PTFE hose assembly from Spruce AE3660240B0180
The 0180 is 18 inch and you might need a different length.

I don't believe that would be legal for any A&P to do, but not a surprise coming from Mike Busch.

This includes information and a pic of sn 609
