The International Cessna 170 Association

Our engines are now approved for the new unleaded avgas - if you can find any.

Depends on which end of the runway, 10R - 158' 28L - 257' KMRY

The aluminum that Vans supplies for instrument panels is 2024-T3 with a thickness of .063".
This place is a lot cheaper than Spruce and will do custom sizes.

With everyone's input the part number of the wrenching bolts for the vertical stabilize in the 1948 IPC has been superceded. NAS145-14 and -18 are now MS20005-5 and -9. I sourced these bolts from Genuine Aircraft Hardware Co. out of Billings, MT. Thanks for all the help, much appreciated. Mike Just...

After rechecking with Genuine Aircraft Hardware they show the NAS145-14 has been superseded by MS20005-5 - neither of which they seem to have in stock. You may want to call them to see if they can get them.

I have the Ford alternator as used on early C172s and it fits with no alterations.

30 and 60 amp shunts are available at Spruce.

Although faded, you can see my oil pressure gage had red lines at 5 and 50 psi. Now they are a light pink. Doug, mine looks about like yours, and has since I bought the airplane in 1982. When I overhauled the engine in 2006, with a new spring for the oil pressure relief valve and new bearings, the ...
