Does anyone know where I can find the following;
The center rear tank and the real mag switch?
I just got my Champ after 34 years since the last one. :D

First off, welcome on board!

Second, whats your name? We are a friendly group here.

I want to wish you luck finding a center aux tank (fuselage) for a Champ. I have a couple for a Chief but the Champ's are rare as hens teeth these days. Would really think that you could easier and cheaper install a 5 gallon wing tank in one or both wings.

Mag switches come up on Ebay or Barnstormers from time to time. One thing, there has been a crooked seller on the internet selling everything you might need, mag switches included. This one person was supposedly located in England and we have at least one person on the board who was ripped off by this crook, so pls be careful.

My Name Is Bill Adamson. I repaired and flew a 7AC in 1975-76 :D :D and loved it. The one I have now is close to one I owned back then. :D We moved from Fort Lauderdale to Marathon last year and our house is just off of MTh rwy07, I had a hard time not getting back in the air having eavery one departing right over my house. So I went and bought 71681 from Wilcox, AZ and had it ferried down here.
