Good afternoon, all, There was an older thread discussing this, however it was 10 years ago, thus I figured I'd start anew. I would like to add a ground power receptacle to my 170B. I cannot find the bracket, nor can I find a drawing of one to fabricate one. Does anyone have either a bracket, or the...

Thanks so much for the information! Very much appreciated. You read my mind...I was going to ask a good source to procure the hoses from.

All my best,
Rob

Thanks!

Very much appreciated.

All my best,
Rob

Good afternoon, all, What is the proper bulkhead fitting for the oil pressure line for a 1953 170B? Also, how do you get the air out when adding kerosene to the hose running from the bulkhead to the instrument? Just patience as it comes back up the tube your filling? Thanks in advance for your time ...

George, Bob...

Thanks so much!

All my best,
Rob

Good evening, Bob,

Thanks so much! I just may take you up on that.

I ended up going back to the hangar and measuring my 170B vane and the O-1A Bird Dog vane. Here's the results:

170B = 1 inches long
O-1A = 0.25 inches long

Thanks again everyone!

All my best,
Rob

170B vs O-1A.jpg I went out to the hangar this evening and got a picture of my 170B vane and one on an O-1A Birddog. No other 170s around tonight. Here's another picture of just my airplane's vane looking outboard. I forgot my steel rule to get dimensions. 170B AOA vane (2).jpg Thanks in advance to...

Absolutely! I'll try and get out to the hangar in the next day or so and get a couple.

Thanks!

All my best,
Rob

Good afternoon, Charlie, Yessir...I was able to adjust it so that it wasn't coming on 20 mph before stall, but I've reached the physical limit of how far it can move. I believe the vane to be incorrect as it's quite a bit longer than all the others I've seen, not just bent differently. All my best, ...

Good morning, all, My stall warning works fine....in fact too well. Adjusting it helped (great write up by GAHorn on this in 2011), but it still comes on no less than 10 mph above stall. I'm out of adjustment now. Comparing it to other 170Bs in the area, it would seem the vane attached to my switch ...
