TK you are right on the money. What nobody has brought up yet is how badly this de-values the product. Now when someone does a google search for your DZ not only does your website come up but so does the old Groupon offer. Nobody will want to pay $200+ for a tandem if they know they can wait and get it for $100.

Was that corner of the door reinforced at all? If we raise the strainer by moving the threads up into the wing I would be concerned with water not draining out of the tank properly.

I’m in the process of installing a jump door on a 1965 Cessna 182H. The fuel strainer is making contact with the upper left hand corner of the door. The result this the door can’t open all the way up to the wing and is considerably lower than what I have ever seen on any other 182. My only thought at this point is to make a hole in the door so the strainer can recess into it. However, putting a hole in that part of the door could make it much weaker. I think the fuel strainer has an AD on it so I don’t think a new strainer will be the solution. Has anyone had this problem before and what was the solution? Any input or pictures posted would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know of an A&P IA or company that installs rolling doors in 182's. I'm looking for a door similar to what is found in an otter, PAC, cargo 206 etc... Any pictures that you could post would be great. Thanks.
