Re: Fuel strainer replacements

If you mean the fuel drain, no. A filter would hold contaminants in the tank. Why would you want that?

Re: 170 Landing Gear Attach Block

Posting a picture of what you are talking about would make your question alot easier to understand. It is harder to explain in writing what you can easily show with a picture.

Re: Spinner Bulkhead Cracked

Some spinners also have a forward plate attached to the front of the prop instead of the "Plug" that fits into the hole in the prop hub. It is attached with the prop bolts and the spinner has screws that attach to the forward plate. I would suggest buying the entire assembly to ensure that...

Re: Spinner Bulkhead Cracked

There are several different suppliers making the bullet type spinner. In other words you need to make sure you are getting a bulkhead that will work with your spinner as they all have slight differences. A picture of your spinner would probably be your best bet of getting one that might work.

Re: Loss of Oil pressure

The left oil screen on the acessory case it the low pressure or scavenge screen. This is what takes oil from the sump and supplies it to the pump inlet. From your description it seems as though you have determined that not to be the problem. The pump is a positive displacment pump, meaning it produc...

Re: N number size requirements

Arayana, to the IDIOT that told you that you have to use permanent decals (there's no such thing) that aren't removable, I would point out that paint is not permanent and is removeable. Wouldn't that mean that paint is also not legal? I would consult your local FSDO and not the local village idiot f...
