Wow that is nuts! Must be some unabtainium sprinkled in there!

Thanks gentlemen!! I will try to measure mine when I get back to the hangar. It did fit snug in the 4 new springs. Log book goes back to 92 and not one mention of any mx to the tailwheel. I'm sure a few more would be fine!

I scoured the forum as well and couldn't find any avcon guidance. My mx has herd of guys using Vans RV parts, citing that there is no STC support anymore? Any avcon guys herd of this? Particularly prop and throttle brackets? Screenshot_20240202_094728_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20240202_094659_Chrome.jpg...

Bringing this post back from the dead! Man $170 doesn't seem so bad anymore. I have a little pitting on the bushing, but no uneven wear. What would you professionals do?

Jim, thanks so much! Unfortunately yea cable is garbage, also 2 adell clamps have broke since I owned it. The Clamps attach prop cable to bracket that is on prop gov, so something is going on with it!

Thanks Jim! So you do have a loop? 180? As well? Your description doesn't give me like trying to upload a Pic on this forum! 🤦🏻‍♂️. First Pic is "the loop" second Pic is just the firewall pass through and the prop gov attach point. Thanks again for the help! 20240202_144555_resized.jpg 202...

Thanks all! I agree the loop doesn't seem right. But if that is normal I don't mind replacing, I guess I'm just reaching out to see if anyone has a loop on there's. This 170 seems to be a little wonky, perhapse it's the wrong bracket attached to the prop gov? Or it seems like the prop cable may be c...

Hello all! Still loving the new to me 170! But while the wx has been garbage I keep digging into items I probably shouldn’t ! I have reached out to a few members, but thought I’d get some last minute advice before I purchase new cables. I have been doing the leg work so my mechanic doesn’t have to, ...

Thanks all!

Thank you! i have a bout 25hrs on it already and starting to get the hang of the nose wheel in the wrong spot!!!

Hello all,
Thanks again for letting me roam the forums and pick some brains! A big thanks to Miles for all the help and guidance..
I'm the proud new caretaker of a 1955 170B with the 0360 conversion. Needs a few things but nothing serious..... Don't they all!! Pic is to big to upload??

Thanks so much for the reply. Was looking to get an annual as a prebuy. But ended up bringing my guy from MI out with me. Thanks again.

Hello all,
After snooping around the Soo on Wed and OSH I'm getting close to pulling the trigger. However I was wondering if anyone had any mx A&P connections up in the Duluth MN area??
Thx again for all your help.

Wow! Thanks all, great information. Not just for this bird. But future stuff to look for.
