Dustin-

Like Brian, I'd like to know if you could provide any templates or pics of your front plates. Sure makes sense.

Anyone ever install a C-170A Airforms Baffle kit on the C145-2H? This engine came out of a 170B, and we are installing it on our A model, and the A model baffles interfere with the Hydraulic Propeller control at the left front of the case. We will install our fixed pixed McCauley prop and leave the ...

I got the parts you need. See previous post: http://cessna170.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=14515

Bingo...and to further answer the question, I ended up with a nice O300D core for a possible overhaul down the road, just looking at options for putting it in my 170A and keeping the pull starter.

Hoping someone can provide enlightenment… I’m helping a fellow 170A owner change his tail spring pack, but realized his tailwheel assembly, which looks, smells, and acts like a Scott 3200, is different. The upper bracket assembly that attaches to the main tail spring has the same shape and features,...

Try calling Air Repair (http://airrepairinc.com/phone/index.html). It appears they have most, if not all the hardware for tail springs...

Gary - thank you so much for those document links! I was relieved to find my hardware configuration in the Service Pack drawings, as it's different than any IPC. I will definitely be replacing the whole spring pack and all the hardware I can get hold of.

Hello, as of last month I'm a new C-170A owner and new TIC170A member. I'm trying to eliminate some tailwheel shimmy that occurs about half of the time. I've installed all new cups/cones/hardware/tube/tire on the wheel, but that didn't do it. Since I can't find anywhere in the logbooks that the tail...
