That ebay part was the correct one. One issue down many more to go.

Thanks,
Dan

I sent a message to that ebay seller requesting a picture of that switch from the side. It appears that it might be correct. Thanks for that link.

Thanks,

Hi, The second one Gary posted is like mine. The Delco-Remy p/n 820052 in the other picture is like the one I purchased with different dimensions. When installed on the starter the "button" is closer to the arm/bolt that engages it. I might try drilling a second set of mounting holes in th...

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement for the starter button on a C-145? The spring seems to have collapsed and does not push the button back out anymore. If there is a way to replace that spring that would work but it doesn't look like there is a way to reassemble that part. ...

Sorry for bringing up an older post but this one is close to answering my question. Does anyone happen to have a part number for a replacement starter button that will work? The return spring on mine has collapsed and it does not appear that it can be repaired. I tried walking into Napa and they ope...

Hi Gary,

Thanks for letting me know. I have started reading posts and will definitely look at this when we pull out the gauge.

Thanks for the reply. I am familiar with the odyssey batteries and smaller hardware. I have an old PC680 (same as SBS-J16) sitting in my hangar. I use those type batteries in my experimental. We need to make new battery cables with this battery replacement so adding the correct size battery lug woul...

We will try to figure out what caused the gauge to stick once we get it out. Not sure I would trust it anymore though. I will probably just replace it with the Rochester for now to get flying. I did not see the difference between their online listing and the catalog page link other than the price in...

I have a mechanical oil pressure gauge that seems to be stuck. It never reads below 35 PSI even after sitting in the hangar for a week. I need to replace it but I am not sure what to replace it with. The gauge that is in there does not appear to be original. It has Rochester on the face and looks li...

The EarthX battery would actually be a little less expensive than the Atlee box, STC and battery. It would be something to consider depending on how difficult it would be to get approved. I would also like to see the actual life expectancy of the new battery technology.

Thanks,
Dan

Dan, have a look at https://www.odysseybatteries.com/odyssey/sbsj16.html Thank you for the link. I have seen that but I am not sure I want to invest the $646 for a new battery box and STC. I would prefer to adapt to the existing battery box with a spacer as it appears some have done in the past. Dan

Sorry to bring back an older thread again as my first posting and as a relatively new 170B owner but this was the most recent and close to the subject of my question when I did a search. Has anyone obtained a field approval for the SBS-J16 battery in a 170 recently? I am familiar with the Concord an...
