We're pretty excited...We're finally scrapping out the old, one and only radio in the 1962 Cherokee 160. It's getting replaced with two Garmin GTR 225's and a GMA 345 com/audio panel. At the same time we're installing rear com connections. It would have been nice to get Nav/Com but we're on a...

Good idea about the plates. I have some scrap .062 aluminum that would work fine. Thanks for the tips everyone!

We're wanting to extend the intercom to the rear of our older Cherokee and I'm looking for plates and jacks to mount on the side panels...with little luck. We're going to install a second radio (it only has one now) and a GMA345 audio panel What have you used and what can you recommend for...

Sorry Sarg, just being funny...

Don't argue with your mechanic...

Well, they tries to buff it out with some wazoo polishing stuff and ruined BOTH right and left windscreens. New set on order and they are standing behind the issue. Gonna take 4 weeks to get the new windscreen though. It can still be flown in the mean time. Sucks, but it is what it is...

The dipstick...the Archer 180 I train in gets the oil checked a frigg'n dozen times a day. There are times it's screwed I so tight I gott'a take my Leatherman out for leverage. Most people just don't know the difference between tight and TOO TIGHT.

Looking at the Honeywell/Bendix site for GPS updates, it's nothing short of a poopshow. Ya need an old laptop with Win7 or XP and a serial port. If the frigg'n thing boots up with a new battery, we'll test it out but I'm thinking it's just not going to be worth the hassle. The cost of avionics...

DAMN!! That's a good idea about the battery! Guess what we're going to try... THANKS for that heads up. I'll let you know how it works out.

Think about this...here in 2022 we consider ourselves "SO" advanced and "MODERN", but those old timers really had an amazing handle of this stuff. Think of the engineers, designers and...(HOLY CRAP!!) the test pilots that took those things up and risked their lives to prove some new theory...

I also wondered/considered compactness of design...with the added benefit of essentially heating the carb assembly via conduction...I guess it works just fine. I'm always curious about what goes on in the minds of designers.

That makes sense...I like the icing theory/idea. Thanks!

Here's a technical question...What is behind the design of the oil pan on a o-320 oil pan. The carburetor attaches to the bottom and the intake runners flow through the sump of the pan. I've worked on hotrods, boats, motorcycles etc. and I'm not familiar with this design. Gott'a be a good...

The owner is back today...he is going to stand behind it. First, he's gonna discount the install and he is going to try and buff the fog/hazy appearance. If that does not work, they'll replace the windshield. Ya can't ask for more than that...

Man, those are sweet, but only NAV and no COMM. Not sure if we're asking too much or even if it's available...to get both in the same size package. You posted faster than I got my reply in...We will look at those options!!

We've got a KLN 89B that throws a boot error. It's older than dirt and we need to replace it, not wanting to chop up the dash, we need something that will fit in the hole. In the opinion of this hallowed community, what would you choose as a NAV/COM replacement. New is nice but we're not...

Ha...ya, it's just a slang term I throw around to describe a knucklehead...kind'a like Dingbat.

It's only been one day and we're waiting to see what the response is. Hopefully it's not a big deal and they stand behind their work. pel·i·can /ˈpeləkən/ Learn to pronounce noun A general dumbass. They can sometimes be observed installing windscreens on aircraft.

We bought the full set of windows for our Cherokee and my son and I replaced all the side windows, which came out amazing BTW. The wind screen was installed by a shop at the airfield (not here but out of state where the plane is now). The pelican who did the work scratched the left side...

Great help here everyone! THANKS!
