Posted a separate message a while back but this looks like a more lively place than my original message... Sorry for being redundant.
Out of production parts needed?
* New Chief (11 series) instrument panels/bezel so you can undo all the butchering that was previously done to your panel? Would allow use of new altmeters with adjustments at 7 o'clock position.
* For Chiefs again (since I'm a Chief pilot) I would like to see an approved replacement fuel transfer shut-off valve.
* A hydraulic toe-brake conversion (mine has hydraulic toe brakes, but I don't like the pedal set-up - would not recommend it.) Both for Champs and Chiefs.
* New source of old-style A-7 mag switches - they show up regularly on eBay, but you're buying potentially old, worn out parts. And they get bid up to ungodly astronomical prices. O/H on one of these switches at Keystone is north of $150. Of all the suggestions, I think that this would be the most marketable/profitable.
