Changing nose bowl
Has anyone installed early 172 nose bowl on a late model 170? Cost and part numbers. Thanks
Changing nose bowl
I have a 172 A model nose bowl. I do not have the part number . I was told but do not know that it just screws right on. No serious modification required. Can anyone else confirm this?

Re: Changing nose bowl
My mistake from the keyboard. My 170B is a 53. Sorry for the confusion.
I have now changed my signature to relect reality.

Changing Nose Bowl
I checked with my mechanic today who works on a lot of 170s. He says that he is certain that you want a nosebowl from a 1959 model 172. Its more of a 180 style but the real advantage is that its from heavier guage material and much more resistant to stress cracks.
The installation is not just a bolt on operation but its well within the skill level of a good sheet metal mechanic and well worth the time and effort.
