1955 Cessna float kit install planning

I am exporting a 55' Cessna and the buyer wants to install a float kit on it during the restoration. I know it is a PITA and expensive but he found a low time machine that is a good candidate for a build up and engine change etc and frankly he has very cheap and good labor. I know there isn't a per se kit and I think there is a set of drawings for the early serials that show work to be completed. If anyone has insight or resources please point me in the right direction. I just ordered the Northpoint 520 and McCauley to go in the box and would like to put the bits for the float kit install (including drawings in there also). I have sent him other aircraft and chastised him for not looking at a float kit to increase marketability while he has them torn down.

Found a few threads but they were pretty dated and was looking for fresh info and maybe someone with parts and drawings.

Paul, send me an email. I have the accessory kit parts list and instructions scanned for 180 s/n 30000-50661 which covers the 1955 airplane.

It’s not hoarding if your stuff is cool.

That's the best line I've heard in quite a while.

PM me. I have that drawing.
