180hp conversion for the 170A

[GAHorn]

These wheel fairings w/brake covers are not specifically for the 170..but are for the 172 (however they do have some approved aftermarket items for 170 aircraft, most of which I laugh at ..but... their nose cowl replacements may be useful... ):

John Pugliese had his brake fairings on his '52 C-170B.

I don't remember where I got the brake fairings. Someone ran ads in the 170 magazine back in the 1980s. I remembered those ads and looked up the phone number from the ad. That was in the early 1990s. Blueldr is probably right that it was John Pugielse in California. They were easy to install since they came with a notch to fit around the brake line. They were finished and ready to paint.

John's still around and still flying, but no longer makes the brake fairings.
