Frame welding questions

[sibbeston]

I found some rusted tubing in the crossbrace by the rear spar fitting and need the tubing replaced. While i have the frame at the welders what other work is required for the 85hp engine upgrade? Also wonder if anyone has info on the float fittings. I may as well weld some on when im at it.

There are no airframe mods to put a C85 on a Taylorcraft, unless you are talking about doing the portion of the Harer STC which increases the gross weight to 1500 pounds. Terry Bowden here on this forum owns that STC now.
