Cockpit and instrument dimensions for a 172S

Can someone link me a place where I can find the dimensions for building a cessna 172S cockpit.

I would like to know for instance the dimensions of the yoke, How far the yoke travels forward and back. The size of the various instruments and the position of them on the cockpit panel. Ideally I want to make it as realistic sized as possible.

I don’t fly Cessnas much anymore, but the standard instrument size for the large round gauges is 3 1/8”. You might find dimensions for other bits and pieces on aircraftspruce.com. Maybe air salvage sites too.

I’d recommend finding a 3D model online

There’s a few CAD drawings out there that I started from as a reference. I had to do a little moving around to align with monitor “squareness” though - as many do.

Here’s what I have so far on my project of the 172S.
