My only concern (as a stock part) would
be that it looks more solid than the original... i.e. heavier. Back when
Piper
designed these suckers, they were pretty careful to minimize weight
everywhere they
could.


That's true. Karl Bergey, one of the designers of the Cherokee, told us
that Pug Piper had a hard and fast rule: You could only add weight
somewhere if you first reduced weight somewhere else.

Which is how we all ended up with those classy "Royalite" interiors!
