I purchased it from Falcon Aero --> http://falconaeroparts.com/

Also, we looked in the 170b illustrated catalog, and the generator is not hooked up to a scat hose in this instance. My mechanic said in some planes it's illustrated to connect it, but not the 170b.
The Illustrated Pars Catalog…. is a “parts ordering catalog”…..NOT AN ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION BOOK…NOT A MAINTENANCE/SERVICE MANUAL. It has MANY illustrated-errors and omissions.

The Blast tube should be served with fresh, cool air just as the engine overhaul manual directs.

An originality nut (mostly) for the right reasons. ;)
