I’m replacing all the wing root fairings as well as replaced the inner rib on the left wing, this being said the new fairings are considerably wider, the wings were changed out with the new 7-71545 wings so they do screw in place and still have the tension screw. This was done in 2019. So I’m going to use both thought I would install without the rubber drill the screw holes the add the rubber for a better tighter fit. Something of interest with the new wings is I picked up 150 lb of us full load. I was reading the type certificate and see there is a reference to max weight of 1650 note 13 by which it ups this to 1800 if aircraft was retrofitted with wings 7-1545. Unless you have a O-235 motor What’s interesting is this was missed on the last weight and balance figures.
