Cigarette Lighter

Post by tomreneau »

That empty lighter receptacle in the panel is starting to get on my nerves. Is there a source for the lighter or even for the Cessna style knobs that would allow me to fabricate a matching one? I’m aware of the AD and mine has been disabled so a working lighter is not necessary. Any ideas?

How about a blanking plug? You may be able to find one that fits at a well stocked hardware store.

This might work...

Or. pick up a cigar lighter from a junk yard. The older the better. Don't forget to placard it "Inoperative"!
