    "In my opinion: ..... If they are not heavy, don't replace them. The new ones offered by Rotax are problematic, yet again."

    When I first read your statement, I assumed it didn't include the parts associated with the newest release of Rotax's "improved" floats (3 Dec 2020 release of SB-912-074UL). But - in case it did, thought it best to ask and verify. I had already ordered the latest version when I read your post and assumed that they were too new to have been included. Now I'm second guessing that assumption.

    Thanks, Darrel

    Does anyone know where I can buy the 5 year rubber replacement kit? I am having a very hard time finding this 5-yr rubber replacement kit and do not want to have to order each item seperately. I have searched the LEAF catalog, Aircraft Spruce website, KitfoxAircraft.com, and Lockwood Aero and I cant find it anywhere. I can find a 5yr kit for the carbs but not the full kit.

    I know this rubber replacement probably isnt necessary but the manual says "do it" so I am going to do it.

    I bought blue silicone coolant and oil hoses from NAPA for less than $300, 5/8" in place of 16mm coolant, 1/2" oil and 1" coolant.
