172 G Restoration
Good morning Guy's
I am in the process of restoring a 1966 172G , and would like some input on a couple of the plastic interior parts; how to remove :
- The center console without shattering
- Avionics panel, which has the buttons, was unable to remove the button fasteners, & did not want to break
Easiest (best) way to remove baggage door, can the two hinge pins be slid out & removed, or do I need to remove all 4 fasteners from the door hinge & baggage door?
Original plastic has been completely removed, repaired & painted, jambs painted, new carpet going in, with new fabric on the original door & wall panels.
Look how Eric from Mirror Image has brought back the paint!
The forum & magazine has been a huge wealth of information on "how to"..... I thank you all!
Thank you for your help,
Best,
Freebird

Thank you Scott,
I was able to remove the center console without damage. I plan to consult Bob Hart with regards to my existing avionics Scott any advice on replacing the 172 G Skyhawk aluminum fuselage emblems, I have searched the web without success.
