Hi! I put my chief on floats last year. Looked high and low for two years and didn't find any. Had to make them myself. DO NOT USE BUZZ WAGNERS !!!!!! They were both not even close and wrong. It cost me a few months of work when I assumed they were right, got everything else ready, went to mount the floats and found out they were totally f---ed up. They are not too bad to make up, since the rear strut is at a 90 degree to the fuselage. I did find a guy in south dakota who had factory ones and went out and took pictures and measurements etc. call me if you need some ideas -- John Goritchan 218-213-6030

just a thought on going through ed peck. He is a great guy BUT.. the part will still be uncertified and at the price he wanted, I figured I could make one for a tenth of the cost of his.--no disrespect intended..

I just happened across some fittings for sale, asking $250.
