Hi nathan. They look a little generic to me. All the rear fittings I have seen including a few that were documented factory fittings had 3 sides to them. 2 side walls and a top. No time to b.s. right now, but see what others come up with.

Ski's? They sure don't look like my float fittings.

Definitely for floats. I've seen them, like this, on Cubs, T-crafts, SuperCubs and Champs. I'm wondering if it's a generic weld on fitting from F.Atlee Dodge or if they're Make/Model specific.

They resemble the Atlee Dodge fitting. Look inside the fuselage and see if there is a square plate about 4" x 4" welded to the fittings and fuselage tube. I just put a set on my Chief and was not quite happy with the fit, but they are very well made. Dodge will probably e mail a drawing if you ask.

I have some detailed photos of EDO float fittings (1320's) and they do not look like yours in the picture at all. I can eimal them to you if you would like.

The fittings can be either bolted on or welded fast
