Template for Ceconite flange

Post by n3437d »

Ok, here goes a simple request - looking for a pattern for those Ceconite flanges that are inside (and inboard) where the air vents go through. I have some air leakage and an aesthetic situation I want to clean up by covering these plates with Felt.

I could take the old ones off but rather not because someone (not me) glued them in place and I am afraid of cracking them.

I thank all who respond

Huh? Have you got a part number for what you are talking about? Ceconite flanges? :?: Did you mean "Royalite" perhaps? Like the PN 0411875-7, Moulding, Windshield, in the B-model IPC, page 64, Fig. 35, item 11?

(Do you have a B model? See how helpful such information can be when asking for parts?) :wink:

Answer: No. In my 53 model it is metal.

(I looked up your tail number Joel, and see you have a 55 model, serial 26980. The part I thought you might be looking for is actually on page 66, Fig 36, item 14...but it's the identical part number 0411875-7 so it must also still be metal. Later airplanes (like 172's) used royalite...a type of plastic made by U.S. Royal. Perhaps your interior has been redone and someone substituted a 172 part in your 170?)


Answer: No.
