Can anyone give me a drawing number or measurements of where to put the rear float fittings on a champ?

I know on a chief, they are on the only tube cluster just rear and below of the back window. I know it is totally different, but that rear fitting HAS to be on a cluster otherwise the rear strut fitting would fail. There should be lots of champ drawings out there. I hope you're doing the clamp on style. Welding it would be tough with the fabric in place. I'll talk tot the guys with champs and see if they have some drawings laying around. I'm off to oshkosh on fri!!!!!!!

Jody,

No float equipped Aeronca's there at Oshkosh to look at and measure?

None on floats as of Tuesday. This is one of the questions I couldn't find an answer to.
Met lot's of great people though. Had some good visits and really appreciated Nate stoping by. Put him to work! Thanks loads for your knowledge, Nate!
We have a DVD with loads of drawings to show people, but don't have any way to find a reference to the S7-AC fuse drawing.

While your there at Oshkosh please ask around to see if anyone has block-off plates for an O200. Nathon H. had posted some in the past. I'm trying to find some.

thanks,

They bolt on or weld on to the rear tubing cluster. The actual fitting has a bend in it that follows the bend in the tubing at the cluster
