Serrated Goodyear actuator replacement (1948 170)

I had a soft right brake that wasn't getting better with servicing so, I decided to overhaul the master cylinders. After inspection and referring to The 170 page, I realized I need to update mine IAW SNL "Master Cylinder Changes". This replaces mine with 0541138-2 and -1. My question is, w...

GoPro mount on dome light?

Has anyone 3D printed a GoPro mount using the mounting location of the dome light? I like taking kids up for rides and giving them a video would be a great memento. I have the simple dome light with integrated switch, 1948 Ragwing.

Rear bulkhead / headliner bow?

I have '48 170. The headliner was removed a couple years back and I've had another one sewn up. My question is, is there a "bow" that clips into the clips on the rear bulkhead? I have the other bows but, seem to be confused on how it's attached to the rear area behind the hat rack. I have ...

'48 Fuel Selector Valve Questions

I have a 1948 170 SN 18549 The airplane has been in my family since 1989. My IA has issue with the fuel selector valve "feel". It also has a little blue staining as well. My question is what the fuel selector valve should feel like when switching between tanks. I've always been content wit...

Re: '48 Headliner around fuel gauges

Thanks all for the replies, this makes much more sense. This is essentially what my upholster recommended.

'48 Headliner around fuel gauges

I have a 1948 170, I'm having a new headliner made. When I removed my headliner the fabric was sandwiched between the fuel gauge and the tank. This seems like a good point of failure. Is this standard practice? or is there a better solution?

Replacement Ivory Knob window latch?

Hello all, I'm looking to replace the plastic knob on my window latch. Does anyone know of a replacement? I assume this could be a 3D printed part. Unfortunately, mine are both missing so I'm unable to replicate. I'm recovering the seats and would prefer the latches not tear up my new seat upholster...

Re: Panel Tinnerman nut??? A6187-8z-3

Cory, I think you're right. I assumed (we all know what that's an acronym for) that since the other IPC's showed "8Z" for the size of that A6187 tinnerman that this was a misprint in the B model IPC. It appears that the misprint may actually be in the straight 170 and 170A IPC's. The corr...

Re: Panel Tinnerman nut??? A6187-8z-3

There are THREE different models of 170s…. when referring to IPC pages/figures….it would be VERY helpful to know to which you are referring. After searching them all … Pg 60 of the ragwing IPC covers these parts. (Please mention WHICH IPC you are discussing when identifying parts) :wink: ... George...

Re: Panel Tinnerman nut??? A6187-8z-3

I think my instrument panel braces are owner-produced. Could someone with a '52 or older 170 let me know where the front of those braces attach? I had to replace, what I believe, you are describing "panel brace" and mine was attached with one of the rivets on the windshield flange. I owne...
