The International Cessna 170 Association

Yep you are absolutely correct on that.The IPC shows one under the tank adapter & one on top of the tank adapter between it & the skin of the tank cover.I put one inside the tank one outside the tank & two on top of the adapter between it & the skin to take up some of the space there...

I know this has been discussed & rediscussed but I just replaced the gaskets on my fuel tank filler neck & adapter & after all the discussion I put a gasket inside the tank & one outside the tank in spite of the fact that the IPC shows in fig 2 & fig 7 that there is no gasket ins...

Back to the LED nav lights,I had a red 1157 LED bulb in stock from a motor cycle & found that not only did it fit the socket on nav light but the contact in said socket contacts both contacts on said bulb & therefore turns on all LED,s in the bulb.Ordered a green one for the other side &...

My log book specifies dash 2 blades but measures 76 inches tip to tip. Sooooo if dash 2 is a 74 inch prop................?

FWIW I have my 170B with 180 LYC C/S prop stol cuff Javalin tank 3/4 time eng up for sale & have had it there for sometime now.Brand spanking new paint&interior no radios.I may have my asking price too high but I have had two nibbles & no return calls.I see others asking anywhere from $9...

O.K. I'm confused (don't know if it's again or still)are we talking about a vibration damper on the prop or on the engine that weigh's 7lbs?The only way to damp the vibration of an engine that I know about is with counter weights on the crankshaft,so I guess we are talking about somthing that you ad...

Thanx for that clarification,it seems to be stirring a slight fog of recolection now :) For Matt,I have always kept a sharp eye out for the cracks that the LYC conversion is "famous" for & so far after 1300 hrs. none of them have apeared. There were cracks at the bottom of the eng. cow...

Help me here if you don't mind,I have been an A&P mec. since 1966 & I don't have a clue what an "inner coastal" is. I hope I know it by some other nomenclature.Since my 170B is equiped with a 180 hp Lyc & undamped Hartzell I would like to know exactly where to look (other than ...

The pointed screws are not the correct screws for use with tinnermman nuts,they are a different pitch than the blunt type "b"which are correct for use with the tinnerman nuts.I admit that the only authority that I have on that is the "Spruce" catalog info on "sheet metal scr...

Waaay Cool lookin shop & sounds like a nice Guy too. Didja get ya a new six or eight shooter?

Sounds like a fun discovery,especially in NY those discoverys are always more fun when they are unexpected,but you either got the wrong pic or wrong caption George cause that ain't no six gun the gentleman behind the counter is holding in his hand.

I knew that,uh George what time did you say it is?

Somebody remind me,why did we rush to alternating current generators in the first place? I don't remember having any big problems with the old DC generators & as Gahorn mentioned the DC generator has certain advantages.

Good idea Brad, I've been gone from the airlines for some years now & sometimes forget about all those magic compounds that are available.Devcon aluminum putty will work just fine in this case.

So it turns out that the batt. box has a new STC but the odyssey batt. doesn't have an STC for the 170 just the pa18 & 19.
