Replacing fuel cut-off valve with non-a/c part???

You really don't understand, do you John? The process to approve this
part is NOT a simple 337. A 337 means you have approved data to make the
modification.

Oh, no, sir. You submit a request to the local FSDO inspector, who
transfers it to regional engineering, who passes it on to Oklahoma City,
who bucks it up the ladder to Washington DC for a policy decision, while
you wait, and wait, and wait for an answer.

This is a frikkin' low horsepower single engine airplane out of the 1930s.
If the valve the person is suggesting that they use is available at the
local hardware store, it is far superior to ANYTHING that was available in
the middle of the last century.

Put the sumbitch on and keep your mouth shut.

You're a bad person.

But I totally agree. ;-)

The only way you get busted is if: A) The airplane crashes because the valve
failed and B) You open your mouth.
