--> Engines-List message posted by: "Randy L. Thwing" <n4546v@mindspring.com>
Hello All:
We have a Flying Club sort of affiliated with our EAA Chapter. See
www.eaa163.com click on flying club link. We have a 1958 Cessna 172. Our
members want to upgrade the charging system from the stock generator to an
alternator. A member has purchased and rebuilt a Cessna branded alternator
that we think was originally from a Cessna 150. Our problem is that in the
up-coming annual inspection, our usual "IA" will not sign off the alternator
installation without some documentation that this particular alternator was
used, or STC'd, or field approved on this type of aircraft. A further
complication is that our airplane which came from from factory with a
Continental O-300 engine, now has a C-145 (earlier version of O-300)
installed in it. Our research indicates that the C-145 was never equipped
with an alternator. Does anyone out there have or know of a early Cessna
172 with an alternator installed of this type. We need it to be the same
part number as the alternator we have. The information from our alternator
is:
The nameplate says:
Red Seal
Continental Motor Corp
Part No. 733661
15V 60A
Made in USA by GPD Ford Motor Company
If anyone has STC or field approval paperwork, or a 337 that mentions this
same alternator installed on a early 172, we would be grateful for the help.
Regards,
Randy L. Thwing, Secretary, Chapter 163 Flying Club
