I am rebuilding my 182p after Helene.?
I had dual G5s and the gfc-500 autopilot but the rest of the panel was showing its age. KX-155 nav/com, GNS-430w gps, PMA 6000 (mono) audio panel, and an inop KT-78 transponder.? After getting some eye watering quotes to replace the ancient avionics I had, I did some research and ended up on Approach Fast Stack’s website. I called them and spoke with Tim several times and after talking with my IA I pulled the trigger.?
I ended up with the ifr flyaway package. They deleted the gmu-11 since mine was in the wing and fine and they added the autopilot harness and a serial connection for the engine monitor at no added cost. I gained an oat sensor so I can get true airspeed along with ads-b in and out via the gtx-375. And all of the wiring for the avionics will be completely new.?
Really happy with the kit so far. The wiring harness is very well done and the documentation that came with it shows every connector and pin and what I need to interface the harness with the airframe.?
I’m somewhat regretting the Garmin audio panel. It doesn’t feel as nice as the ps engineering unit but it does have stereo along with Bluetooth and a usb charger. Weirdly enough the GTR-205 also has Bluetooth and a somewhat iPod like interface.?
There is still a lot of work left in this kit to do. I’m guessing at least 40 hours to pull the old harness and install this one and a blanking plate in the radio stack.?
After this is replacing the engine gauges with a JPI-900. Then hopefully replacing the old plastic panel with a custom aluminum one.?
With any luck I’ll get my engine back this year. Apparently the case shops are backed up and are months and months out. We will see. It’s been three months so far.?
Pics show the harness, wiring diagram, and the GNC-215 vs KX-155.?

This is great. I think we have enough bodies to hang a door ! I would like to start at 10:00. If you can, please bring drill drivers, impact drivers and ratchets with various size sockets. If we start at 10:00 we can be done by 1:00.
See you then, Mark
I’m in till about 1230. What time you want to start?

Please let me know if you can make it. We only have two doors left to hang....... the end is in sight.

Re: Anyone know what these are?
Those are finigan pins that usually fit into a maurader?assembly.

Are you looking at the phenolic sleeve? I never thought they were part of the tool but I suppose that’s a possibility. Oddly enough they all have that slit except for the one labeled as -13. I always assumed it was there to make them easier to remove from the sleeve.?
All of the sleeves measure approximately the same. 3/4 necking down to 5/8.? See the slit down the length of that OD?? That certainly looks like an allowance for expansion.

Re: Anyone know what these are?
They look like a good fit to support an older industry (by a "qualified" technician)...such as printing press production line.
Bet placed: $40 to the museum if I lose.
Thanks. I’d love to find out what they are. Best I can tell they’re a threading guide for something like a production lathe or even something like the Hardinge cataract lathe or some other small precision lathe but I’ve never been able to find anything definitive.?
With about 5” of thread at half pitch you’re only going to get maybe 1-2” of thread out of one of these things.?
It’s also weird the thread itself is a 60 degree v thread. For something that would drive a lathe I would have expected something more like an acme thread or other prismatic or square thread.? I’m in a machinist group. I will share your post there.? On Apr 20, 2025, at 1:02?PM, waylon woodall via <Doubleu_84=[email protected]> wrote:

See the slit down the length of that OD?? That certainly looks like an allowance for expansion.
