If it’s the gascolator in the nose wheel area. Mcfarlane sells an STC’d replacement. If it’s the fuel selector in the floor the older style just has a steel ball bearing held under tension by a spring on a Teflon seat. The bearing is subject to corrosion if there has been any moisture in its past. A new ball bearing might be the fix.

I guess I’m the lucky one. We have an avionics shop on our field. They are a Garmin shop. I was able to do the most of mechanical installation on my GFC500. They did all of the wiring, installed servos, setup, etc. I’ve done this a number of time when doing upgrades prior to, so I have an excellent relationship with them. Not only does it reduce some cost, I’m learning and I know my airplane that much better. They are just a two man shop so they appreciate the help.

I did half of my commercial in an older Arrow 201 and the rest in the C model that I now have owned for over 20 years. I found the Arrow harder to land as you need to keep power on all the way to the ground. The Arrow flies like a rock down and dirty. I couldn’t make the runway from a mid field downwind simulated engine out. I find the C much easier to land as long as you maintain the right approach speeds. On a mid field down wind simulated engine out you have almost an eternity to get set up for landing. Mooney for me.

Put in 2 G5’s and a GTN 650 a few years ago. Got the GFC 500 done last year. Didn’t have an autopilot prior to this. WOW, I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Might be interested in the engine instrument cluster if you still have it. Need to verify it fits my ‘62C. What is the part number on it?

Thanks. Looks good. What is Key #?

I like your series of check lists in the top photo. Where did you get them?

My compass is mounted to the center post. I also have visors from Lasar that are mounted from the outer cage tubing.

Wentworth has them.

Was able to complete a weld repair on my caps. No a job for an average welder. Wentworth just responded. They have stock @ $45 per cap. Beats new at $500 and up any day.

I tested one of my damaged caps today. Did the vinegar test, no reaction. Filed some material off and tried to light it. No response. It seems these are aluminum.

Just finishing the annual. Have the same problem. Need two. Nothing on eBay new ones $5-600. Anyone know if these are cast aluminum or magnesium? At the cost of new, I’m guessing magnesium.

Been looking for something like this ever since having bladders installed. Thanks. This is great.

Ok. We were hesitant to use any force. Didn’t want to damage the bladders. Forcing anything on an airplane always ends up bad.
