Has anyone else tried to modify a set of original wing tips into a
pair of tip
tanks? If so, I'd like to hear how you did it, and what kinds of issues
you
have had, if any. I'd also like to know how you made the modifications
and
the type of glass/resin you used..
Jon Johansen's don't appear to be available on Van's web site
anymore.

Uh, might that be a question for the vanairforce.com forum and not an email
list dedicated to "electrical" discussions???

Fred,
Jon Johansen's tip tanks don't show up on his website either.
(http://www.flymore.com.au/)
I have a pair for my RV-8A that I bought a couple of years ago from another
RV builder. I recall that the location of the filler and possibly the vent
is different for a tailwheel aircraft than for a nosewheel one.
Mine have not been installed yet, so I would be glad to take some photos to
send you on how these are made. They are of the earlier wingtip design, and
they have a boss for mounting the surface mounted nav/strobe lights and a
tunnel through the tank for the wiring.
I also have a set of the older style wingtips from Van's that I have had
hanging on my wall as a sculpture for several years now.
Jon's site has a couple of other interesting products for RV's -- a heated
pitot tube and flush fuel tank drains.
