What are these Edo float parts for?

[wilbur]

I have a friend that acquired some Edo float parts. I put a picture in my picture gallery. It seems a "kit" number might be 89-S-187
Parts are: 89-S-187-1 large brackets (2)
89-S-188 saddle plate (2)
89-S-191 U bolt (2)
89-S-190 angle bolt (4)
89-S-187-6 wedged shaped shim? (2)
also 4 smaller saddle plates with no part number.
They look like some type of bolt on float fitting. I tried to do a search of Edo parts to see if I could find part numbers, but didn't have any luck.

Anyone know what these might be for?

Thanks in advance, Wilbur

I hope the above link works, it's a nice experiment for my dumb computer skills.

Anyway, those are a set of "bolt-on" float fittings for a Cub.

I've never seen a set of them that look so new. Cool!!

How much (how little) will you take for 'em?

The link works, YEAAHHH!

So you really did know what these were, right? You're just joking asking about what they are, right? 8)

Thanks David, that was fast! I guessed they were bolt on fittings, but didn't know what floats or airplane they were for. They're brand new. If they're for a cub, maybe I need them Now I'm thinking I need a source for a complete parts list for the system, maybe a drawing showing how it goes together, and what paperwork I'd need to make them legal.
I'm thinking there must be some things missing from the kit, just from trying to guess how it would go together, and there's only three angle bolts instead of 4, plus I don't know what the complete kit is, or how it goes together.
Is there a way we can put a value on them, after determining how complete the kit is? If the PK's go with the cub I'm selling, it would be nice to have something to bolt on the new cub.
Thanks a bunch, Wilbur

Those are definitely cub float fittings. Looks pretty complete. Don't need anything but a log book entry to install those as EDO floats are on the TC.

Wilbur,

These do look like bolt-on float fittings for a Cub, but the part numbers shown on the Parts Lists I received from Kenmore/EDO are different. For example, the "Angle Bolt" on my list is Part No. 14408 instead of the 89-S-190 you list. And the "Saddle Plate" is listed as 05990. That said, the date on my parts list is May 1981 and maybe they are old numbers. Or it may be that as the parts you show came as a complete kit, they are listed differently. Beats me. I have several sets of different drawings and parts lists, and none of those numbers are shown.

I do know that your photos show a couple of just slightly different parts than shown in the drawings in the parts list for 89/89A2000 floats. For example the flat, rectangular "shims" that lay on both sides of the "Upper Plate" and "Lower Plate" shown in the photos are more triangular shaped in the drawings, as well as on my own float fittings. And the drawings show the upper and inner plates held together with 3 rivets, instead of two in the photos. But,...those may just be slight changes made throughout the many years these have been manufactured.

What the small, "wedge shaped shims" are,...don't have a clue.

You also asked about putting a price on the parts. Well,.....about 4 years ago when I got my floats, I called EDO to order a set of bolt-on fittings, they said they were $800 each,...without bolts. GULP !!! Then they said Angle Bolts were $157 EACH and the U-Bolts $120. At that point I thought I was out of luck, because I had bottomed out the savings account just buying the floats. I called Stoddard's in Anchorage, and they had a good set of used fittings, complete with bolts for $400. So, somewheres in between I would guess. Your fittings sure are pretty and new though.

The bolt-on fittings work really well, but I plan on replacing mine with weld-on fitting during fuselage work scheduled for this winter.

Jim,
Thanks for the information and values. Now would anyone have a number I could call, to verify what these numbers are old SC float fitting numbers, and to get a drawing of how this kit goes together? And maybe where I could get any missing parts?
Thanks again, Wilbur
