I noticed today that my avionics are run off of my turn and bank coordinator switch. Is this an acceptable practice if the load is added up and the fuse adjusted accordingly? The avionics also has its own inline fuses.

Thanks guys!

Has anybody been able to replace the bulbs behind the dash with led's? If not where do i find I replacement for one in the dash?

I just noticed that my tailwheel only goes around 270deg and then locks up, am I correct in saying that this isn't correct and the tailwheel needs taken apart and rebuilt?

Thanks,

Going to replace my wheel bearings and was wondering if anybody knew a good source for them?

Kyle any leads on where to find a longer altimeter knob?

Alright buying new seals, thanks all.

Thanks guys, my airplane sat for a number of years and only has the vented cap on the right wing. I understand the importance of the right cap venting and just wanted to make sure it still does.

So in the end $244 for a rebuild. I am not sure what I am going to do yet, the shop I took mine to has parts blah blah bl...

Can anyone suggest where I can find a 35Amp Generator for my 1952 C170B. Mine has been in the shop for several weeks, and their is always another excuse on why it isn't finished. I figure if I buy another one, at least I have a spare.

With the help of this site, I just had the tops off my tanks. I too had to file slots in a few of the screws. When I put them back in, I used SS on everything but the leading edges, of which I was informed were structural. I dipped every leading edge screw in zinc chromate on the recommendation of s...

Following all George's recommended tests from the other post, we concluded that the generator although just rebuilt was the culprit. Took it to the shop and they concurred that that the armature was burned out. Awaiting my generator back.... Thanks all

Thank John, I wasn't sure if I could trust the IPC on wire or not. Especially since the mags and igntions have had so many AD's.
