Univair fuel caps
Almost embarrassed to say I bought a pair of the Atlee-Dodge stainless fuel caps - https://www.univair.com/atlee-dodge/...-cap-assembly/ - and they look nice on the Clipper. Hemmed and hawed about it but figured since you use them every time you fly, and tired of looking at the mismatched Stant / Tractor Supply set I had. Peculiarly, the Univair catalog says they're good for J-3 thru PA-22, but the STC skips over the PA-16. Still good I guess... Cheers, Donn

Re: Univair fuel caps
If it didn't bother you with the Stant caps why worry with aircraft approved (PA-16 could have been a typo miss)

Re: Univair fuel caps
After taking ownership of the Clipper, those fuel caps were my first hard lesson in the intricacies of paperwork. J3 through PA-22 it said but my IA pointed out that the PA16 was missing..

Minor modification? Why not.

Re: Univair fuel caps
I am not saying that the Clipper does not sport Univair fuel caps but I am saying it was my first introduction to the PA-16 being missed off AMLs.
With that in mind, for example, DakotaCub many parts are PMA'ed for all variants of the PA20/22 but not the PA16. The original part numbers between the PA20/22 and PA16 are the same but officially these parts cannot be used on the PA16. Is there a reason that the PA16 would have been missed off the AML? IS there an extra cost or duplication of paperwork that would have stopped what appears to be a simple addition to the AML when presenting the application to the FAA?

Re: Univair fuel caps
The Clipper falls between the cracks sometimes. Same fuel tank filler necks etc. Another good way to use AC23-27.
