Shoulder Harness Install
I have a 1954 170B. Thinking about adding shoulder harness kits for the front seats. I see there are basically 2 types - the Y and the 3-point single strap. Are there STC's available for both types? Which type is most recommended? When I look in Wag-Aero or Sportys Catalogs, they appear to be out of...

Re: Looking for Servicable Door Hinge
Thanks for your replies. Yes, it is the hinge pin bottom finger (Barrel) on the door portion that has rusted off. I will look for the earlier discussion to see if that is a fix. Thanks again.

Re: Trying to Calibrate a Fuel dip stick
Thanks for the reply. I thought of that and still may have to do it that way, but one aircraft is a rental so it is flying all the time. I just thought if I had the dimensions I could calculate it fairly close. I just didn't realize how hard it would be to get dimensions.

Trying to Calibrate a Fuel dip stick
Does anyone have the HxWxL dimensions of the standard and long range C170B fuel tank? I am trying to calibrate a standard over the counter clear fuel tank dip stick for a couple of C170's that I fly. Even with the slope of the tanks, I should be able to calculate the actual amount of fuel at the dif...

Re: Door Stops & Stop latch
Hey Bruce; Here is a picture of the Ball Door Stop in question. The ball is 6.25mm in Dia. Also attached is a picture of the door mounted receiver unit that replaces Part # A1663-017-1. My local Cessna dealer says that this new part # S2436-1 is the direct replacement. At a cost of $2, I bought one ...

Re: Door Stops & Stop latch
Thanks Bruce for your input. Yes the door stop with the ball does look like ones that you can find today online for $200 -$300. It is not the problem. I think something inside the receiver unit at the top of the door is where the problem is. What I was trying to find out is if that ball type stop is...

Re: Door Stops & Stop latch
Thanks for the info. I think that leaf spring is what gave on me. I will check out the Skycatch units.

Door Stops & Stop latch
I have a question regarding door stops & the associated latch. I have a '54 C170B and I have two different door stops. The right wing has a solid ball on its door stop and the left wing has a split end on its door stop. Which is correct for this model 170? Does it make a difference? The issue I ...

Re: Pre-Buy Inspection in the SF Bay Area
Hey Tod; Did you find someone to do the pre-purchase inspection? Is the A/C N2937D? If you have not done an inspection and are still interested in that a/c, email me at flyrmurphy@sbcglobal.net and I will tell you what my AI found on our inspection. Ron Murphy

Re: Wanted - Short case DG
Thanks for the heads up about Air Salvage there in Texas. I will call them tomorrow. As for the swapping positions with other instruments - yes I probably can. I was hoping to make that the last resort, so I didn't have to re-plumb the vacuum lines. As for the Yoke change idea, I'm not quite sure wh...
