Yeah, walked away, took a break. Came back to it in a flow state and boom, done, easy. Scared myself a little!

Replaced mine with McFarlane last year. Tremendous pain the rear to remove and reinstall. Then I hit my stride and trying one more time installed it in about 90 seconds. Wish I could remember what I did!

Do you have to have a headliner?

If you pull the old ones just measure and get equal length replacments from McFarlane and you're good to go. The loop in the prop cable is a service loop, rather than cutting it down. Sometimes it's easier to do the loop.

I went down this rabbit hole last year. Bottom line, don't bother trying. Just get double pucks, STC from airframes alaska available. I love Beringer, bought a set for my Lancair and it's a great product. I would love a set of red wheels for the 170, and the weight reduction, and the amazing pedal f...

Makes sense. And if it had been done ever it woulda been done by now. Thanks

Any info on this? Did you complete it?

I thought I read somewhere of not just moving the pickup but adding one to reduce unusable fuel, I can't find it any more. If anyone has info please let me know. I have 175 wings on my 170B

I'm gonna need to see the pics and video.

Link doesn't work because the period at the end for some reason didn't attach to the link. Looks like an aritfact of typing it out on here (automatic periods happen on the ipad and iphone a lot) but it's part of the link. Watching it now, super cool. Alaska was still a territory when this was made.
