The Cessna 120-140 Association Forum

I am trying to determine if either of the Univair nose bowls they say work on the 140A actually do. The 1951 140A parts manual says the part number is 0452184-48. That is the only parts manual I have. The two parts numbers from Univair 0452124 and 0452185. Could those with straight 140 parts manuals see if the numbers seem to apply to your machines and let me know if you find a match. Last time I talked with them they seemed reluctant to stand behind the part fitting a 1949 140A simply because they just didn’t have enough info as well.

0452124 is the early nose bowl. It will definitely not be the same as a 140a.
0452185 fits all 140s from sn11843 on up.

The 140A manual I have doesn't list the nose bowl stamping separately, but it lists Cowl Assembly - Nose, pn 0452184-48, which is also listed for 1948 140s sn14365 and up, and uses the 0452185 nose bowl.

As an Association member you can download the 140 parts catalog from the resources section of the main web site.
