If your installation is like mine ( I have 175 wings), the base of the filler neck is inside the tank where it screws into a base flange. The flange is held in place with the six screws that hold the splash shield in place. There is also a seal between the base and the inside of the tank. The stakes...

Mine are staked in which will require blending otherwise the threads will pick up material upon neck removal. Prc sealant should seal the new necks threads.

I have installed a Avion panel under the impression that it was STC'd for a 170. In fact it is not and must be installed via 337. Unfortunately that doesn't work in Canada and a one off will be required. It may be cheaper and quicker to install H.D's kit which is STC'd. Does Harry's STC come as a ki...

I'm almost finished the 0-320 conversion and yeah I'm black and blue. I'm hoping for increased reliability and fuel savings which is basically a penny wise, dollar not so wise. approach.

Give your heads a shake , whom of use out there doesn't have an intake scoop free from cracks? Its a mere 2400 ,Nose bowls ditto, I'm sure if we ordered in bulk they would give us 10% off. Just wish Univair or the like would produce C170 parts in volume .

For what its worth , I've replaced that channel for the same reason but I had the tail feathers off . Problem area as that bolt item (2) was curved like my hockey stick. The prvious owner had flown the aircraft for years (20?) with that tab missing and compensated by adding a spacer plus tightening ...

Try preferred airparts ,their website is great and they have cessna parts" old stock " in new condition.

I thought that the aviation oils were non-detergent type oils. On opening up a case there's a film of grey goo everywhere.

While trying to locate ( I'm still looking) a hartzell spinner a 2298-2 , a gentleman Mr Bill Hagen contacted me and gave me a list of parts he has to sell. Although I don't need them, what caught my eye were two wings 520002-15,-16 new in the box.If required please email me and I'll pass on the inf...

I looked at this briefly, how does the retaining ring come out? The only spot is by the fuel gauge at the side, is there enough room to squeeze it out there?

I'm replying, I don't know where except maybe Wentworth or better yet Preferred Airparts .What I'd like to know is how to remove the filler necks that become corroded into the tanks.I've see an ad for a new tool that claims to remove them,has anyone seen this new tool?I'm looking at my tanks and thi...

Is there any advantage other than climb rate ? If on floats great idea strap on as much power as you can.I wonder in cruise how much the elevator is deflected and how much drag is produced by that deflection.

Well I'm trying to do the impossible , I have this modification STC135c 160hp C/S that I removed from one aircraft and I'm now installing it into another. I too did the run around with Al and the boys , all I wanted was info and paperwork of which I was willing to pay for. I received little in retur...
