The original instruments. Were those re-used? Could you please explain to me again, where the fuel pressure gauge is connected to? It shows some value, which can not be fuel pressure. |

This is the fron cockpit Is this an elevator leaning against the wall? Why is there a cut on those pipes? |

The restored tail-wheel The photo of the tail wheel area was to show the overhauled original pressurized oleo strut that was ultimately replaced with a newer less troublesome design that provided better characteristics. |

The electric panel behind the firewall What are these boxes? Whelen - Strobe? Jasco - Alternator? A very clean work, by the way. A lot of people commented on that. |
| Shows details of the reassembly. One photo shows the electrical panel mounted on the rear of the firewall. I had urged Carl Terrana after he purchased the plane to install some insulating strips under the two Jones terminal strips mounted on the panel. This to prevent the grounding of a terminal in the event someone were to mistakenly try to install a terminal screw that was too long and not meant for use on the terminal strip. I can only assume that this was completed. |
You mentioned this in Cottage Grove. How can I chack if it is done? |
