Tom,

Thank you for the help.  I appreciate it.

I only need the handle of the window latch assembly, as the little push button that is on the inside fell out, and now the handle won't stay locked.  I still have the handle on there, and don't know if I can just repair mine or not.

As far as the cover plate assembly goes, I may need to try Cessna then.  I do believe the original speed fairings are on the aircraft.  I don't think I need to remove the pressure in the strut first on my aircraft, as I've had it off before and nothing happened.  There is only one small through bolt that holds the speed fairing and cover on.  Maybe I just got lucky, but your warning concerned me some!

Thanks again.
Don

I have a 172K with the decal you are seeking.  I could take a picture of it if you wish.

Robin,

Thanks for the reply.  My 172I does have the logo under the rear windows.  It is a thin metal emblem that says Skyhawk.  Is that the logo you are talKing about?

Don, if your aircraft serial number is between 17256513 and 17257161, then that is the emblem I am looking for. My phone is 845-687-4384. Would love to talk to you about your plane. If I could get a close-up photo of your emblem and the dimensions, I would like to get some made for other guys doing restorations to there 172i's. Thanks again, Robin

You might try giving a call to a fellow named Clayton Caessens,Pensacola florida. I bought some control yokes from him. He is or was parting out a 1968 172I that is storm damaged. Good luck

Robin:  I have a 68 172 #57078 that got damaged last oct by a tornado.  Repairs are almost done but we have not yet painted the hull.  It has the plate you need on each side.  I am assuming that my AP will be removing them to paint.  If he does I'll gladly send you one and take you up on the deal for new ones. I'll call and find out.
 
  There are about 1500 hrs total time on the plane (500 hrs myself) with original avocado green interior (excellent condition, no rips or tears and perfect headliner) and until last oct, all original paint. I don't blame you for wanting to redo your plane..the 68s are great airplanes.  Mine had many new parts and everything in perfect shape back in oct and with the new wing from Williams Airmotive and other cosmetic work it will rise again.  good luck on your project  Steve
