When I looked into it, I pulled a part number from an old catalog, and found this. Go figure. This is p/n 0411086-18 (I believe?)

Another photo of what Ryan is seeking, I believe. From a '52 B.

Oh, do tell!

See Dillon Barron's '54 for an example. It's perfect.

Kyle Fosso's new firewall that he constructed is fabulous. Maybe he'd assist in creating another?

Beautiful aircraft! Thanks for posting the photos, as well. Great story.

Would love to see a larger res version of that last photo, during taxi.

Wow!!! That looks incredible. Any more photos would be quickly absorbed!

For those interested,
Dillon Barron's fully restored '54 170B made cover of this months issue of General Aviation News. (Along with a 2-page write-up).

I'll make some calls, and find out for sure!

Reciprocating engines are air pumps. The RPM is just one factor that determines the horsepower output of the shaft turned by the air pump. Air density & temperature are just as important. 2700 RPM does not always mean 145 HP of output on an O-300. Atmospheric pressure gets lower as you go highe...

Interesting read folks! However, I'm a bit confused by the premise of this discussion! Maybe I'm way off base here, but to my understanding 'horsepower' is a figure that is directly related to engine RPM, which in this case, is the same as the propeller RPM. Anything that contributes to more RPM, wi...
