David,
My only other suggestion is to draft a form 337 and request a field approval to modify the aircraft to the configuration of say a 500B using the parts manual as your substantiating data.
You will need the filter, hose, fittings, and shutoff valve for the heater. Get the FAA's Instructions for continued airworthiness work sheet and fill it out also. Then without putting a signature on the 337 submit it to the Feds and see what happens. Include a letter with this application saying something like parts are no longer available to support your aircraft.
Good luck and hope you are not in a big hurry.
Cheers
Mike

I believe that you could do it as a minor modification. Several 500As were converted to "B"s and I believe the work could be done with a logbook entry. jb

Hello All,
21 of the Model 500A were converted to 500B.
I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of these were accomplished by The ServiCenter at Bethany and they raised a Form 337 detailing the conversion.
20 of these were accomplished under the authority of factory Engineering Report No. G10-134, with one under an STC, No. SA459EA.
Interestingly, of the 99 Model 500A built, the first was also converted, to become the first 680F and a further 31 were converted to Colemill "Super 300" under STC Nos. SA340SO & SA366SO. The latter one authorised an increase in MTOW to 6,530lb.
Best Regards,
Barry

I would follow JBs advice and do it as a minor change with a logbook entry.
The questions/concerns would be ....
Violation of FARs? Not many FAA types have any idea as to what the innards of a TC looks like so I doubt it would ever be noticed.
Insurance coverage? As long as the mod is not a cause of an accident or damage it is not an issue. Even if it is and you exhibit due diligence in your reasoning for doing it as a logbook entry you will be OK.
Safety? As long as your design and install are sound and allow you to shut off fuel flow at the source you should be OK. There are 10s of thousands of homebuilts out there flying safely every day with fuel system designs more complex than we are discussing here.

Mike...
A glimmer of hope arrived from an in-op pump that may be overhauled with luck... I might give C-D a chance to reconcile this situation with this unit. Not sure if legal action is necessary... The 337 is something I am trying to avoid just for the reason of time. The guys are bugging us pretty bad about it. (WA_WA)...

I hope it works for you.
On the 337 you can submit it before performing the mod and wait for it to be approved. Then mod the A/C.
