Larry,

The Johnson bar goes to the left of the elevator rod.

I enclosed pic of my Bull wheel set up i made from scratch for my aerocet 1100s .

Mine all attaches with hose clamps, no drilling of tubes needed.

I have the complete manual for straight and anphib Aerocets. I also have the parts list and diagrams. Someone borrowed my scanner...but when it comes back I will PDF it and email it to you. If you need it asap...send me your address and I will pop it into the mail.

Watching my friend struggle with his straight floats on a J3. No problem with the floats...just the hassles of dealing with straight vs anphibs. I think it pisses him off every time I taxi by his hanger on wheels with water dripping off the back of the floats. His plane is tied up at his cottage...or at a lake several miles from his AME shop at the airport. The Aerocets anphibs have taken a fair bit of criticism...but if you take it easy on them (stay off rough grass strips...boat ramps...etc) and maintain them (check for worn bolt holes..slop in the system...DO THE OVER CENTER ADJUSTMENT once a year) then they work well.
