Here is a picture of the o-ring that sits on the shaft of the selector lever. This could be a source of leakage.

I dug out the old fuel selector valve. I have no recollection of how to attach a picture so I'm attaching several pictures. My computer has a .020" diameter thumbnail of the picture which is useless....

I have one of the old valves on the shelf. I'll take some pictures so you can plan your attack.

I just went through this. The issue of leaking past the valve is from the little balls not sealing on the seats. The selector valve has a small well in it that can collect water. I think this...

BILLS:

A more complete answer would be that the battery installed in your plane in 1965 was a flooded lead-acid battery. In comparison to a Concorde sealed battery of today the charge voltage was...

I got all of them from Cessna. The numbers from the parts manual have all been superseded. I think they had all but one of the switches I needed.

BILLS:

The regulator choice is up to you. The original 27.7 was installed over 50 years ago. Battery technology has certainly changed since that was written. Gill and Concorde both recommend much...

Thank you for the update. Good job on the auxiliary ground wire. That addition accomplishes three things. It now provides a solid ground path for the starter, alternator charging, and field wire...

I've dug through our last full year of posts. We covered quite a bit. Bring me up to date on the items that you've upgraded. It looks like you were planning on a panel change as well. I still...

BillS:

I'm glad the electrons are flowing in the right direction. Unfortunately I do not remember the background of the original problem. A little refresher would be great.

Sorry for the late response on the polycarbonate breaker box lining. These are the pieces I had cut from my paper template. These make a nice insulation of the area.

I will take some pictures for you. The 3tc-2 breakers will make a big difference.
The jumpers can be at the far end of the bus. That way it won't be so busy up where the alternator leads attach.

Jeff:

You may want to consider a spacer between the panel and the mounting holes. This would look like a license plate frame. I'll send you pictures. I would also encourage you to line the panel...

Jeff:

In looking closely at the new panel it appears that you have the taller 3TC breakers. Is there enough clearance on the back side for those? I love the picture of your old circuit panel,...

Somehow I missed your previous post. I'd be glad to help and share what I have learned. I had the same goal as you in keeping the original front faceplate. I think it's nice to ditch the thin...

Yes, just measured it at 3/8". I'd love to see a pic or your new circuit breaker panel. The shop that cut mine for me has the template in their computer. It would be no big deal to have another...

Hi:

I'm running off an avionics master breaker to a switch and then back to feed the entire avionics bus. You could run to two switches for a backup avionics switch if you want. As I recall the...

That sounds like a very good option. When you fit your wires mark a line on the wire for alignment of the terminal. This is important on the larger wires. Send pictures.

I'm skeptical of the quality of that crimper. If you save the $55 and measure and mark your wire you could send it to me and I'll crimp it for you. I'll even label it and shrink tube the terminals. I...

Hi:

There is going to be an avionics master switch on the panel. It will go from a breaker on the main bus to the switch and then back to power the shorter avionics bus on the lower row of the...
