Here is a You tube video on a Kitfox guy installing his floats this may help. I've never flown on floats so I am not sure if this is what you need. I finally watched the entire video, thank goodness he finally put on a shirt!

That video is worse than useless for "rigging" a set of floats. It may be ok for installing them but rigging involves planning the position, measuring the location, cutting the various struts and spreader bars, etc. I haven't seen such shakey camera work since I was in film school. : )

There are several photos that may help out.

You might try to track down Paul Liedl in Minnesota, he had floats on his
Series 5/IO-240B which were pretty similar to the Zenith floats ... I don't
have his contact info any more, however with the magic of Google you could
probably track him down. He might be on the Matronics list also ...
