The International Cessna 170 Association

I have a 0-300D with the starter and angle drive but would not use the original starter in another rebuild.
Sky-tec has a direct drive, lighter weight starter for less $$ than original and would be a better choice.

MIT I resent I mean reppresent that remark

I found the Spruce price was less than a local supplier in Ft Worth.

The panel in a 170B or 172 have six mounts across the top three along the bottom Total 9
Steel works fine but then I have a compass mounted mid windscreen. I really doubt the top panel compass would be a problem but that would be for you to determine.

This might be a topic for a new thread if so please move accordingly. Yesterday returning to home airport paying attention to traffic in the pattern the aircraft were using rwy 32.

Hope to see some of you there.

I agree with Bruce but if you need new bolts, Fresno Airparts has them listed in TAP and their phone 559 237 4863.

Talked to Bode ( Eastland Mgr ) today and the May 23 fly-in is cancelled. He and others from Eastland are going to the WASP get together at Sweetwater. ETN is undergoing major construction.

I too have a set of Lycon 9:1 pistons on my shelf. These require no additional changes and are machined pistons.

C-85 pistons will not change stroke but do increase compression. If you do use C-85 pistons in a 0-200 or 0-300 they will need a bevel machined at the top to allow valve clearence. I have flown an 0-300 with 9 to 1 pistons and the difference over stock is very pronounced on take off and rpm increase...

Please delete your comment. Don't want you in trouble even though we know you are kidding.

You can't be that old if you remember all those prices. I can only barely remember 15cent gas but still enjoy hot roast beef sandwiches. Hot turkey was also good.
