Welding required: http://www.univair.com/stinson/modification/108-3901001-stinson-float-fitting-kit/ and Auxiliary fin (No. 108-3901002)

Be aware that 2425 floats have a reputation for leaks due to cracks, thin bottom skins.

Yep, I’m aware Pete we installed the float kit on ours. Do you know of any other float options for the -2? The STC’s for other floats seem to only apply to the -3. Eddie Peck or his brother is going to be down here later this month and I’m planning on meeting with him or discuss other options..

I've no specific knowledge of other floats except that I've heard that 2440s have been used on Stinsons. Say hello to Eddie for me. He is a cousin to my late uncle.

This is the STC for 2440s on the -2 and -3. It does mention that it is approved only with the Continental engine. It seems to me that you could work around this limitation with your FSDO guy.

Say hi for me also. I drove him and his brother nuts when I got my Champ on floats with questions

Will do Glenn - and Pete. Looks like Brinley will be the one coming down to swap some damaged floats off of a Champ.
