I’ve replaced many of the hydraulic, fuel, and air lines and would like to relabel them.

I have all 4 fuel tanks out of the plane at the moment. I could send you pictures with measurements if that would help you?

The straps that hold the tanks in place I just finished cleaning. I re-primed and installed new rubber strips on to them as well. I’m sure I could measure these too.

Would anyone have information on the parking brake? I found the cable from the pull knob is not connected to anything. I was wondering how this connects to the pedals to hold them in the depressed position?

Did you find a new product or have the originals re-worked? I’m currently having the fuel tanks rebuilt but the fuel senders they are sending back to me as the company working on the tanks don’t touch the sender units.

I ordered 6 Whelen A315LO lights for under the glare shield. They should hopefully be very close to the lights in the pictures you sent me.

Currently I’m in the process of stripping the exterior paint. All control surfaces have been removed as well as the wings, vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer, door, and front wheel bay d…[Read more]

Congratulations of your panel updates. I’m going to be upgrading my panel as well. I’m currently rebuilding a 200D, and right now I’m in the process of stripping the paint. Not a fun job.

If I can figure out how to upload pictures, I’ll show you the slow moving process.

Kevin

Not very easy I might add.

Could someone recommend a paint system? The original appears to be zinc chromate primer and enamel finish. I’ve heard that epoxy primer is an option to zinc chromate. Is this a better way to prime or should I source the zinc chromate version? Any sug…[Read more]

Mine needs the faded green and white arcs re-colored as well as some of the numbers touched up or re-done. It is very faded and yellowed.

I was going to have it rebuilt and was curious if I could have it refaced as well.

Or would you suggest simply replacing it?

Thank you.

Would you know if the autopilot disconnect switch must be incorporated into the wrap, or could a switch be added to the panel? That is if installing a new autopilot.

Thanks again,
Kevin

I have started the restoration of N413KS, previously N427VV, and would like to maintain the original interior panel lighting operation if possible. We are installing 4 Garmin GI275 replacing the DG, AI, CDI, and an EIS. As these are backlit, this leaves only the airspeed, altitude, vertical speed,…[Read more]

Forgive my ignorance, when you refer to the glare shield, is that the overhang of the dashboard?
If so, mine must have been recovered at some point because I don’t have any lights at that location.
I do have some post lights that are above the top row of instruments, but they are wired with the red lights. T…[Read more]

Could someone be kind enough to explain how the original panel lights were arranged?

I have red post lights located over every instrument, controlled by the original dimmer/switch.

This dimmer also contains a second switch contact you can close for white lights. I don’t have any white lights, so I was curious as to the o…[Read more]
