As depicted from the IPC, you should be able to build the complete panel on a bench until you’re ready for the transplant. I like your approach and I think the community is looking forward to the progress reports. Thanks for your support Jim! Will make sure to come back to report the progress here....

Still no luck for me to find any info about the side panels. Some measurement would be highly appreciated! I guess the depth of the top and the side overlays is the same - is it about 1 inch?

The hardest thing is the conversion to glass. The manual says run up at 1600 so darn it I'm going to run up at 1600 rpm. Haha, that's a great problem to have. I guess if you have the same approach to exact speeds, using that digital tape, it will really help you with precision in your landings ;) T...

I got the 170 back from the avionics shop Friday and have been exploring all the new toys! Can't wait for some good weather to see them all in action. With nothing good to rent locally to complete my instrument training, I thought it would be a "good thing" to upgrade the plane to IFR rea...

Here's a matrix showing IPC figure numbers for a variety of panel parts. Highlighted in yellow are parts that the C-140A has in common with the 1952 C-170B. Gary, this is great! Have been searching for such a comparison. Thank you very much! Did you compile yourself just now??? Henrik, Cessna offer...

Many thanks for the explanation - helps a lot!!!

FYI the right panel you might find may or may not have the 2 holes above the glove box door if I recall correctly. Those where for optional equipment. Yep, there are clean ones without holes (which is what I'd prefer in our case) And a warning horn is required as GAHorn explained. However, the warn...

therefore the piano key/switch panel I have is no longer complete…. however You or any Member is welcome to all or any portion of it…

It seems as a small part is missing on the set I have my eyes on - see attached image. Do you have that piece?

You can find anything on the internet, except a blueprint of the side panels! I'd love someone to prove me wrong! Until then, it would be highly appreciated if anyone has access to the following measurements - for my continued planning purposes only (not for construction). Can I trust that the left ...

I have looked and have only... ...WELCOME and I’m sure you’ll find lots of willing help here. Many thanks! There is so much gathered knowledge in this club, and documented in this forum - amazing! We might have another, complete, piano on the hook. Let's hope. Maybe it lacks some part, if so, I wil...

Thanks for your input! Also, while it is not possible to tell by the instruments in the center of your current panel, it is likely they would be to deep to install there and so someone went to the trouble of converting the T in the yoke control to a Y control. Got it! "Unfortunately" (I gu...

Interesting heat distribution duct, some mods are needed, probably best to keep an eye out for a complete wreck. Yes... Can you give some more info on what you make of it - and what we need to do? Also, our windshield get pretty icy - so we have been thinking of updating heating to that of later mo...

Henrik, you do realize that many 170 owners would love to have your modern panel. We rarely (never) see folks wanted to change back. GREAT! I am ready to make a deal to swap my modern panel for someone's old - any day of the week! :lol: Yeah, I have noticed this! It seems that many 170 owners prefe...

Welcome to our association, hope we can help from time to time.

I don't know Daniel. And I don't play hockey. But I do thank you for the welcome!
