That is not a list of STCs rather a list of documentation the Association has gathered from various sources over the years. #49 is just a 337 that was written by John Behnam to install Cessna 150 door latches. It does not describe how he did it. John Benham must of then gotten an STC to do the modification which he still owns and sells himself. Call or contact John Benham directly. His info can be found in the membership directory.

The only STC the association owns is the 0300 engine STC which basically allows any model of 0300 to be installed in any model of the 170 as well as early 172s This STC was developed and owned by Ron Massicot who donated it to the association.

In regards to the door latch mechanism, what is the purpose of the clevis pin in the IPC Fig 32, item 55?
I am in the process of rebuilding the doors and latches.

It appears to be the stop for the Item 28. Fig 32
Correct?
