Hi George,

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

3 cents apiece, I need 2 of them so I will start saving up

The exterior screw kit looks like a good bet.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi All,

Searching for the modern equivalent of this screw from the 170B Illustrated Parts Catalogue:

-15 PK76XZ-8-8
Thanks for any help,

Bob

I had just flown in from ORD to EWR late on the evening of the 10th and was still sleeping in when I got a call to check the TV. I had been flying those aircraft and those trips, but as fate would have it not those exact trips.

Does anyone know what the retaining ring looks like for this unit, that prevents the face from falling out of the case? And/or where to obtain one? I actually have 2 units now. On my original, the face will not stay in. On the other, the face cannot be removed; possibly super glued or somehow corrod...

I sent you a Private Message, thank you.

Wire-mesh reinforcement embedded with JB Weld has been performed successfully to some of these cowls. Thanks George, it certainly would be nice to maintain the original cowling, will have to look into someone who can do this (it sure won't be me). Also based on the cost of a paint job, it is not go...

Thanks for the information. My serial number is 26181, so I fall into the earlier (of the later?) 170B lower cowling.

Like many if not most of these there are a number of repairs on my cowling, mostly the lower, so just trying to think outside the box for replacement prior to painting.

Thanks,

Bob

No I don't think so.

Is the 2 part nose bowl on my '54 170B the same as the early 172?

I tried to search 172 IPC; it looked like the upper part had the same part number but not the lower.

Thanks,

Bob

Just before my son's Private Pilot checkride the stall warning quit. Fortunately the examiner did not mind (wanted to make sure he was flying the aircraft, not the warning horn), and thanks to members the horn is working again. Since we have started working on the Instrument rating, the mag compass,...

Reviving another thread, my stall warning horn stopped working also. The light still works. The back of the indicator/horn unit has terminals marked 12V and W as opposed to + and -. Is 12V the positive? Bob I have a new replacement buzzer that George Horn gave me that I never used, as my problem tu...
