Cigarette Lighter
Hi ... would like to know how to remove the cigarette lighter from the instrument panel ... not the lighter per se, the mount for the lighter.

Re: Scott 3200 attachnment bolt
I ordered a spacer/bushing from Airframes Alaska and it was exactly what I needed. Lewis was very helpful. Good service from the company in all respects. Their price was less than Univair. The bushing fit the L-19 eye bolt (which I am sure is an AN-7) perfectly ... proper part number stamped on the ...

Re: Scott 3200 attachnment bolt
Please disregard my last post re: removing the nut on the kingpin. I had a thought and went out and looked at the tail wheel assembly under a strong light ... noted the nut beneath the zerk fitting ... 3/8 open end wrench ... problem solved! Sorry about that ... a good nights rest and a strong light...

Re: Scott 3200 attachnment bolt
Questions/comments ... I was able to easily separate the tail wheel hub using a little compressed air and my vise as another post suggested ... the gasket is in good shape. I contacted Airframes Alaska and ordered a spacer/bushing ($12.50 plus shipping) for the bolt that attaches the tail wheel asse...

Re: Scott 3200 attachnment bolt
I measured the hole in the tailwheel case at 1/2" ... ditto the diameter of the bolt that was installed attaching the assembly to the leaf spring. The eye bolt I received from AirRepair measured at 7/16". The hole in the new spring is slightly smaller and will have to be reamed or drilled....

Re: Question re: Leaf Spring Removal
Thanks, guys ... I have both Snap-On 1/4 " wobble and old Craftsman 3/8" universal which might help. The 1/4" should be fine. Thanks for the heads up, I'll let you all know how this works out. The fun never stops!

Re: Scott 3200 attachnment bolt
Re: the bushing at the fuselage end of the spring stack ... I think I do based on the size of the bolt I pulled out and then temporarily re-inserted so that I could work on the Scott 3200. I'll know once I get the stack out. Question though re: the bushing (P/N 0442011-2) on the bolt that attaches t...

Question re: Leaf Spring Removal
Hi ... another question: I am removing the leaf springs and replacing them. In the 170B IPC, ref: Figure 25, #36 ... Channel - Tailwheel spring retainer. Previous posts have mentioned the need to remove the 4 bolts on each side in order to get the leafs out. What is not mentioned are the two AN3-4A ...

Re: Scott 3200 attachnment bolt
I do have the 170B IPC and noted the bushing at the attach point in the fuselage ... hope to dig into that one tomorrow. I will check with Univair about the bushing for the bolt that attaches the tail wheel to the main spring. I hope the bushing and the eye bolt will work. Otherwise, I'll just go ba...

Scott 3200 attachnment bolt
I am replacing the leaf springs on my 1954 -170B. What is the proper size of the bolt holding the Scott 3200 tail wheel to the main leaf spring? I ordered new springs from Univair and bolts from AirRepair ... one being used to attach the leaf springs to the fuselage, the other being a bolt with a ti...

Re: Electrical Question
The rheostat had a wire attached to the left hand terminal (looking forward at the installed rheostat) no wire attached to the center terminal and no wire attached to the right hand terminal although, at one time there had been a wire attached to the right hand terminal based on the hole in the tab ...

Re: Electrical Question
Hi ... I think I just answered my own question. A further look at the schematic and I noted a 10 watt 60 ohm resistor ... makes sense. If anyone has other ideas, please advise! :-) (Also explains a missing wire off of the rheostat. I noticed the last time I flew the airplane at night that the compas...

Electrical Question
Hi ... I am completely re-wiring our -170 and in back of the instrument panel, just above the overhead/instrument panel light switch and dimmer, I found what appears to be a tubular resistor (about two inches long) ... I find no mention of this in the -170 electrical guide that I could see. One wire...

Fuel drain valve installation ... fuel selector valve
Hi ... pulled the fuel selector valve today and installed an approved overhaul kit ... good thing as the small "O" rings in the left and right fuel inlet ports were deteriorating. The kit came from McFarlane. Question: I think George Horn or another member made mention of installing a quic...
