They come from a wind damaged airplane, left wing is beyond repair (spar is bent), right wing has wrinkle at the two end ribs. Both long range tanks are intact. Right panel cover has minor ding, left panel cover will need a patch around a hole, just near the spar/carry thru attachment (you can see in the first picture where the spar was bent). Also if you don't want to drive here to pick up the wing, I can remove the tank, strap, panel cover, or even cut the wing outside the last tank rib and crate/strap on a pallet/ship, if someone wants to modify their existing wings ala Del Air style. Will work shipping with the buyer/ ship anywhere. Asking 1000$ each. [ Linked Image] left [ Linked Image] right [ Linked Image]

Not that I'm in the market, but a question does come to mind:
Do you think they're factory long-range tanks or do they appear to be the Del-Air conversions?

Nothing is beyound repair! May concern is it cost effective to repair. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts! Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 13,969 | Fred,

Converted standard tanks have the fillers in the middle of the tank. I hope that this helps.......

Hey Bill, We're sure it's a ton of work. Thinking we'll change tanks with the O-320 conversion. We welcome any thoughts or scary findings you've discovered and can share! Fortunately we have a good friend as our A&P / IA and he's very helpful too.
Another bonus....LuluBelle should be in good shape at that point and can carry our butts around while Sassy gets her makeover.

The M 150 still had the old single drain piont near the center so you would be doing some feul line modifications inside the plane in order to use these tanks.
There are those that fly and those that wish they could.
