Morning, got mad and bought an overhauled pump $849.00. probably will get bit for more when they see my core. thanks to all of you for the input, mike

Morning, yes I understood what you meant and yes I have been looking in the salvage yards for anything useable as is or core to rebuild. yes I can purchase new or overhauled, I am just put out at the cost of what is basically a $60 automotive pump that in 48 was specked from someone's automobile in ...

thanks for the info. my pump internally is so corroded that an exacto knife went right thru the aluminum middle housing so I need to find the "marine " pump I guess and see what I think. part 91 lets me spec the parts to qualify for install I believe. thanks again

I have a 48 ragwing 170 with a corroded fuel pump. the replacement cost is excessive. Does anyone have any answers or advice It's just an old AC Delco pump. thanks mike

thanks, I am the IA, A+P 40+ years now but mostly helicopter. Yes my lower cowl has very well done (bump outs) previously installed. Yes I think this Cessna kit will be my legal out. Not worried about the safety just the legal end of things. again thanks. mike

thanks for the input, mike

thanks for the exhaust reply. I am just looking to make it legal cause it is already installed. the lower cowl cheeks look original. BTW someone is using my name looks like. this is the first question I have ever asked. one more question though. landing gear wedges (shim), are they required ? this m...

Has anyone used a 172 exhaust system on a 1948 170? Need some info please

Which way does the actual bullet/check plug orient? I understand the purpose of it. Thanks.

This is interesting. Can somebody confirm which way the actual valve should be oriented? The valve/slug orientation is what I am after.

Thanks for the pictures. I think I’ve narrowed it down to “home made” Jury on one side that isn’t aligning very close at all. What appears to be a factory piece is fair at best. I’m going to have to cut them apart, align them on the aircraft and tig them back together. They are painfully out of whac...

I drive past a yard in Georgia soon. Thanks for the new part number.

My IPC has illustrations 15/16. I do not show a 15-2. Are any more common Cessna 172’s inspection plates compatible with the early 170’s? I’ve searched the part numbers above and don’t see them anywhere for sale. Thanks.

I can’t see it in detail with my manual.

What type of inspection plates are correct for the underside of the fuselage on a 1948 Rag? I’m missing some plates under the cabin area on the “belly”. Thanks.
