Happy to find the forum! My name is Brady, I'm out of Grove Field 1W1, Camas Washington. I've owned an Ercoupe 415C, an RV-12, and now this cute 7AC champ. Thanks to Michael Payne at the Port Townsend Air Museum, I've become the new owner of a refreshed Champ. I've now got a great little airplane for my tailwheel endorsement journey.

I thought I was a good pilot after the RV-12, but after my first tailwheel lesson, this old girl has a lot to teach me about stick-&-rudder.

If you all could point me in the right direction, I need to track down an O-ring/gasket kit for one of my wing tank sight gauges. This Champ has been converted to dual 12.5-gallon wing tanks, and I have a small fuel leak at one of the sight gauges. I've emailed Aircraft Spruce asking for help, but I'm sure someone here has fixed a leaky fuel gauge before.

Thank you in advance!
 
Welcome Brady and congrats on the new Champ! That leaky fuel gauge is an easy fix but I’m away from home at the moment so I don’t have a parts manual in front of me. Either do a search of the site or give me until morning, or someone else, and we’ll get you moving.
