If there is a float available at a reasonable price, I would buy one. I'd still make one if they cost more than $20 or so. You may think I'm reckless, but I disagree. I just know where my priorities are. For example, when I took the cowling off this M10, I found bare rubber fuel and oil hose, no firesleeve. Plus, the oil pressure line fitting on the crankcase was just a nipple that some guy screwed in there -- it doesn't have the proper metered orifice that keeps you from losing all your oil in about a minute if you lose the hose. Oh, and everything is FAA-approved. Except for the oil pressure fitting. So, I just spent over $200 on new Stratoflex hoses, fittings and firesleeve to replace the factory fuel hoses because I am not going to fly an airplane with bare rubber hoses and spring fittings on nipples, which are apparently what this thing came with because that's what the parts book shows. ----------------------------------- Steve Dold ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Say NO to useless over-quoting -----------------------------------
