No you can not post this on the forum because aircraft parts require FAA oversight when they are repaired. So if the shop is not certified by the FAA they are taking a risk with their business. Many alternator repair places have gone through this.

Thanks for the update. The Cherokee is a great learning airplane. You can also move up in the Piper aircraft. I have flown a lot of them over the years. The Cherokee 235 is a nice aircraft and the Cherokee 6-300 is a great plane. Multi engine Seminole is another good training plane. All ATP schools use them and I got my Multi engine commercial instrument in it and my ATP. So good luck and fly safe.

I just had both my eyes done and it has been a good experience. Before the surgery my left eye was the better eye and now after surgery my right eye is super clear. With the new lenses everything is brighter. It’s like having a car that you have to replace or buff out the headlight lens on. I had astigmatism and upgraded to have that removed. Now no glasses needed except reading glasses. Four weeks of eyedrops three time a day, no heavy lifting for a week and no swimming for a month to keep bacteria out until fully healed. No restrictions on flying.

I just looked at the IM manuals and it looks like the connector on the KT76A has more connections and is different. The trays have different p/n’s. KT76 only has 12 connections and the KT76A has 15 connections. The connectors are labeled differently with letters and the KT76 are numbers.

Yes, OK got it.

See if your FBO can order it for you or who ever they sell to. I know people that own maintenance shops that should be able to buy it for you. Just let me know.

Vantage plane plastics K130103-9 for the plastic part as depicted in the IPB is what I installed. It looks like the two pictures of the parts are slightly different because the part I installed has mount screws on the right and left sides. The other pic just has mount screws on the left only.

Just had to rivet the plate to the plastic.

I changed mine several years ago. Here is what I changed. Is this what you are looking for? @cliffy

I bought a Mini plus a pivot case and mount it to the side window. It does not block the instrument panel and not much of the outside view. You can remove it quickly if you need to.

I have replaced two control cables in the last 6 years. I ordered them from LASAR and when I received the factory cables they both had McFarland tags on them. So just go to McFarland first. It is where the factory cables are made now.

55 gallon drum, band clamp heater, hand sprayer. This setup was certified by the FAA. Just had to log the temp and mix ratio before using.

Yes, then type 1 deicing fluid is for you.

Type 1 deicing fluid is propylene glycol mixed with water 50/50 mix heated to 150 degrees F. Good for removing ice contamination on the airplane. Many years ago we had a 55 gallon drum of it with a band clamp heater on the drum. We put it in a weed sprayer and sprayed it on the top of MD-80 wings before they installed heaters. This is a good deicing solution. Obviously if it is still precipitating you cancel the flight if you don’t have FIKI capability.

Yes excellent point. I was thinking about the 5606 turning into pancake syrup while in the system too long. It happened to me and I did not realize it would do that. It got to the point that the breaks barely worked. I removed the break pistons and cleaned them out. I don’t know if the new synthetic does that but I doubt it.
