Thanks Guys! That's the part. I had to fabricate some of the other bow holder clips, so I can make a few of these too..Really appreciate the help..Now I can finish the install.Using a Spruce Gray wool , with the vertical zipper. So far it fits very nice....

Happy New Year to all.... Hopefully this bird will fly this year... Anyway, in the 170A IPC, figure 40, item 23 , is a bow which is 2 piece, and sets one end in the tunnel, and the other end is shown just above the rear window. All the other bows have a slot\point\hook for setting into, but on this ...

On the 170A you mentioned, was it previously installed, or did you do the install?

Has anyone used the Westach 2A3-1 guage and the 399W probe?
It looks like drilling out the lead plug and tapping to 1/4-28 could get a little dicey if things aren't perfect, let alone the mfg warranty...

Thank you very much Bruce, I'll get them ordered..and I'll know where to cross reference on the next one..

In the 170A IPC, Figure 5 , Item 18, Rod End appears as a NAS36. For the life of me , I cannot find that number listed anywhere or cross referenced to anything. Does anyone have the correct number or cross ref. for those rod ends? I am in the process of rigging the ailerons, and would like to replac...

Tim, Thanks for the info.. No pictures needed. I went back and looked at mine, and it is supposed to be as you said. I could see a faint line on the tank panel edge at the wing root, which meant it would have been under the cabin skin as you confirmed. The screw hole openings in the cabin skin are a...

Tim
That would be great if you could do that. I'm most concerned with the inbd\cabin roof seam. I'd really appreciate it ...

Thanks,
Rick

I just went to your post, (that I should have found earlier) but your cabin top skin is not like mine. Mine is not "notched" at the fwd and aft areas. The cabin roof skin runs in a straight line (fore-aft)and has "large" openings for the screw locations. It appears to be original...

Can someone confirm the correct installation of the wing fuel tank cover panels, i.e, under the leading edge, over the outbd and trailing edges, and over the inbd\cabin roof panel? The IPC is hard to depict this. It is the inbd\cabin that concerns me the most.. The panels were off and tanks out , wh...

Tim, George,

My 170A IPC shows AN-5 and AN-6 bolts for attaching the axles to the legs. Fig 27, items 14 and 15
Are you saying they should be MS bolts like used on the vertical?

Rick

Would you happen to remember what number AN bolts you ordered or MS equivalent they sent you were?

RC

Gentlemen,

The drawing is correct. A model. 4 bolts needed.......
I'm going to check another PN source in the meanwhile.......


Thank you
RC

I'm trying to locate a cross reference as well. Does anyone know of any? I don't have any of the original ones to measure...

RC

I am installing the door stewards, but my wings and struts are not installed currently, so judging the location of the door mounted bracket is difficult. Does anyone have a measurement as to where the bracket should be place in order to provide maximum opening without hitting the strut? I can place ...
