Have you looked at the Illustrated Parts Catalog for your serial number airframe..? (Self resetting circuit breaker 2A, for the T&B and/or stall warning)

A quick search feature of these forums resulted in viewtopic.php?t=15646&hilit=best+headliner

Well…. I’m remembering the adage….”Aviation is a small world…”

That looks like a later 172 spinner backplate and front plate…(what spruce sells for 172 A-F models).

That’ll be a magical yellow tag if it’s possible. The FAA has always condemned welded spinners in the past. (Although it was done by an Certified Aircraft Welder to my Baron spinner and it’s now been 29 years and that spinner is still spinnin’ on that Baron.) Wyoflyboy…do you have a pic? I’m trying ...

ghostflyer makes a good point. I used to land at Meigs Field in the late ‘70’s/early ‘80s and it was really a good experience. …AND… it was so much better than later-on having to deal with ORD traffic/delays….and MDW lack of services and terminals that were “dumps”.

You’ll find your “perfect” plane…. have faith. and patience.

It seems to me that a “seller” has an airplane with incomplete and inaccurate maintenance records….. and You or a friend might still want to buy it..? If so, be prepared to own a very questionable airplane unless you spend time and money on it to make it legal.

Listed for Assoc’n Member: Tony Ferreira has accidentally ordered the 8-bolt MDM7652 prop for his O-300-D engine (which needs a 6-bolt EM series)…so he wishes to SELL this factory-fresh McCauley for what he paid for it: $6500.
