Here are photos of the removed shins and torque tube. Note the corrosion on the tube. I don't know how you would ever
see this on a normal inspection.
I would like to give credit to the shop that did the work. Tail Wheel Ventures LLC, 705 Rod Sullivan Rd, Sanford NC 37330, 919-291-4408

The Air Repair L-19 part was the solution. Thanks to all.

I had the right elevator reskined with no problem. The left had to much corrosion in the tube to be reused

I received a call from my machnic saying that the torque tube on my left elevator was unrepairable. I am on the road and hon't have access to my documents. First is this the right part number 0534109? Next I would appreciate any guidance in finding the part. 170B/1952.

There are a number of good metal workers in my EAA chapter that I can call on to help me repair the
engine baffling on my 170. My question is are there a set of drawing floating around that can be
borrowed or purchased to aid in getting all the bends and holes done in the right way?

Is there an app for weight and balance ? If not, is there a spread sheet template?

pan1.jpg I am posting my experience on this problem in hopes that it will be of some value to others. My problem started in January when I notice a small puddle of oil on the ground under the end of the cowling. The source of the leak remained elusive until annual time in June. The engine sat devoi...

I have the same problem. My pan was repaired by Drake Air in 2011. I now have a crack outside of the welded area.
I see three choices.
Send the pan back to Drake, find a replacement, or send to Okanagan Aero for an epoxy repair.

How about some advice from those who have been down this trial.

Figure 38 shows a panel for serials 20267 thru 35372. on the left and right are 5 vertical holes and three horizontal holes. i have scoured the
rest of the parts manual try to find what mounts in these holes.
Can someone help?

Are the Betone or the Bensham exhaust systems still available?

There is a lot of information on clock repair or replace, however not much on how to get it out of the panel.
When I look under the panel I see two nuts that look easy to turn. I don't see an easy way to hold the screws from turning.
A little guidance before I mess things up would be helpful.
