I have all 4 fuel tanks out of the plane at the moment. I could send you pictures with measurements if that would help you?

The straps that hold the tanks in place I just finished cleaning. I re-primed and installed new rubber strips on to them as well. I’m sure I could measure these too.

Congratulations of your panel updates. I’m going to be upgrading my panel as well. I’m currently rebuilding a 200D, and right now I’m in the process of stripping the paint. Not a fun job.

If I can figure out how to upload pictures, I’ll show you the slow moving process.

Mine needs the faded green and white arcs re-colored as well as some of the numbers touched up or re-done. It is very faded and yellowed.

The flight controls on the Meyers 200 do NOT need to be balanced when painted. They are controlled by push –pull rods. Aircraft that have control CABLES they are the ones that need to be balanced if painted.
This from the FAA.
