Hi M.J. to get your spacers installed it is not necessary to reference to anytging except the 337. The hitch is that it must be a 337 that has already been approved by the FAA. The IA can opt to ok it or not. Those who won't approve it dont know anything about coupes.
When I got the first 377 for the spacers back in 1990, it was approved by the FAA and is on file in Milwaukee. This is the 337 that can be downloaded right here on the net. I e mailed it to the net some time ago. I still send out many copies for an SASE. Instructions included.... Another note , I spoke to the FAA inspector that approved the first 337 and he advised me to apply for an STC, Then no one would have a problem getting them installed. When he looked over the drawing on the back, being a previous ercoupe restorer, noted that I really wasn't changing anything to the airframe, but was merely putting it back into design specifications, as Fred Wieck had intended. He also said that there would be no problem getting the STC. all of the work has already been done. There still seems to be many questions concerning spacers and with the STC I will try to answer them. especially the question of what models are covered by the 337. I know it sounds complicated but I work With the FAA here in Ill. and I get the straight dope from them. Cheers Bill Coons 162 E. Sunset Ave. Lombard,Il. 60148 n99822
