Since I have neither the time or money to go the Bones route, this is what I came up with. A new Yak-52 bottle and mount mounted on a new structure just forward of where the batteries were once located. Batteries were also relocated next to bottle opening up a great deal of space for new cargo space. New W&B as well. Existing plumbing was used for the most part. Less than 24 inches of new plumbing was used. (Thanks to Luke P for saving my ass with parts)The workmanship is fantastic and as solid as the rest of the airplane. The cargo space is quite large and is removable if the need arises.

I simply could not find another Yak-50 bottle so this was what I had to go with. That -52 bottle may someday be replaced with a cylinder type bottle. I am very happy with the set up and it has more capacity than the original -50 bottle.

New Yak Trunk!!! Large and removable. Goes all the way over to the inverter. I will dress it up a little bit in the future.

While I was looking for the cargo pic file, I found this photo....so what the hell!

She was a bit of an overachiever and showed up nine weeks early. Healthy and making her dad proud every second of every day. She digs airplanes already!
