School me on Venturi horns
My 170B came with a belt drive vacuum pump to run my big old AI and a newer style DG. I don’t really care for the mechanical pump vs a normal Venturi and only fly VFR. Classic look is actually preferred. After todays in-flight chucking of the pulley adapter I’m thinking about going back to the origi...

Re: Oil Leak @ Thru Case Stud
Hey guys, I’m hoping you can help me with an oil leak issue. After a 45-60 min flight I am seeing 5-10 drips on the ramp within 5 minutes of shutdown. Oil is dripping onto the inside of the cowl and dripping at lowest point. Also, a fair amount is showing up on the belly of the aircraft and the foot...

Re: Parts Interchangeability L-19 vs C170B
I was able to get a L19 tail spring part off eBay for my 170B. Fit perfectly. It was that u-shaped part with a little pin in the middle to keep it from sliding off the leaf spring. Original nub wore down.

Re: brake fluid replacement.
Are these hoses custom length or is there a part number? Mine are probably 15+ years old. Still seem flexible but I may get new ones next annual.
Yesterday we put new o rings and fluid in my 170. Right brake had gotten weak, but now both feel awesome!

Re: Upholstery Diet?
FYI, with my stock seats I can get the front ones off without removing seat backs or rear seat. Slide front seat to front, remove front rollers from track (will require compressing the foam with some force). Slide seat aft, remove the outboard roller. Then with a little bit of twisting, I can get th...
