A Cherokee on Floats? The story so far..

[Deno]

I'm toying with the idea of puting a Cherokee 140 on floats. I know its something thats been done but I cant find you.

Lanched in the 60's and with few ever made the PA28 on floats is a rare sight.
However..

Piper Models PA-28-160 and PA-28-180, S/N 28-508 to 28-1760, and 28-1760A may be converted to the seaplane configuration, PA-28S-160 and PA-28S-180, in accordance with Piper Drawing No. 62008.

For the conversion of the aforementioned its not necassary for a FAA STC (supplementry Type Certificate). BUT...
Is it automaticaly EASA approved? and can I do it to the 140 model?

I've contacted a float company in Seattle who still make a float set, the full plan drawing looks sweet.

I'm waiting for a response from a Piper parts company to see if they can get the 3 or so parts needed from Piper to do the conversion.

Talking to my mechanic about how easily this can be done because I wouldn't like to be confined to water opps.

I would appreciate anyones thoughts on this idea especially with regards to EASA approval for the Cherokee 140.

Thanks in advance all
