The International Cessna^® 170 Association

Anybody know where I can get new Tail Spring/rudder cables for 1952 170B? Any better way of doing it then ordering from cessna parts?

Are you referring to the steering chains running from the rudder horn to the tail wheel or the cables from the rudder pedals to the rudder horn?

For the cables... from the rudder pedals to the tun buckles at the back. I think both are the same size then the turnbuckles are different... (one is shorter)

For the spring...Not the chain springs the main tailwheel spring.

Let's be certain we're talking about the same cables. Do you have an IPC? Do you know an exact page, figure, item, part-number?

I have a NOS set of cables but I want to be certain of what you need.

Also, a good source for all cables is: http://www.mcfarlane-aviation.com/Produ ... t%20Number&

The tailwheell bracket main leaf-spring is the only one you will ever need to replace. Aircraft Spruce: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/

Heres what you need: 06-15100 TAILWHL LEAF SPRG#10 U0542106 $82.50

For the cable I need part number 0510105-1 Cable-Rudder Control, there are two of these I would like to replace both.

What are NOS cables?

Thanks for the tailspring info, going to look at that now.

j3pup,

NOS = New Old Stock

It seems they are $102 from McFarlane, what would you want for yours?
