337 wing repair / replace

[N5ZX]

Howdy, all.

It took some fancy foot work, but after a week of basicly BEGGING, I managed to get my employer to at least consider alternatives to scrapping our SkyMaster.

To that end, I am trying to figure out what it will cost us to repair the damage to our wings that we discovered while performing the inspections suggested in FAA SAIB CE-10-20.

As a minimum, we will be replacing the winglet with Factory caps. Although I'd love to use the Horton STOL tips...I fear that they may simply replicate the excessive lift forces that exist with the current stacked mods.

if at all possible, we'd like to keep our tip-tanks. But will loose them if necessary.

More to the point, I need to know if anyone out there can recommend a wing shop to either repair our very minor damage, or replace the wings entirely.

I've heard rumors that some shop has 337 jigs, but no names or links.

I do know that removing the wings is a pain, but its better than seeing my baby parted-out.

I need to get my boss some estimates soon in order to keep him on-board. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks, all.
