Well, from their own desciption, it looks like the difference between '78
style Piper pants (what he would get with item #2449226814) and the Speed Pants
is only 3mph ?


Good evening Martin:
Unless I read his post incorrectly I thought he had a pre-1978 ship and wanted
to install the post-1978 part number. A minor issue of getting an STC for the
installation or if you are really lucky a FSDO that would accept a 337 on the
installation.

I think the argument was that Piper or OEM parts for airplanes with
the same TC are interchangeable, but if the attachment is different,
its a moot point, you are right. I suppose you could find the right
post-'78 backing plates, but then where do you stop ;-)
