dc-3 / C-47 fuel tanks

Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:22 pm

Looking for leads on DC-3 / C-47 fuel tanks in serviceable condition.

Alternately, can anyone recommend a good shop to rebuild these?

Thanks,

Chuck

Have you checked with Basler?
Anyone know if they replace the fuel cells as part of the turbo conversion?

We got NOS fuel tanks from Tradewinds when we started our restoration 7 years ago. If they had any left Basler would have them now.

I've got a call in to Basler.

I miss Tradewinds, I talked with them quite a bit ( and ordered a lot from them) in the prep for Oshkosh '10.
