Default Duckworks installation instructions

Hi all,
i got my duckworks leading edge LED kit today but it didn't have instructions with it, it had a few templates and an exploded view but no instructions, does anyone have a copy of this that could be emailed through or know where i could download this?
cheers

I have instructions that could be scanned and email - but - they are for the old incandescent light. They may be the same . . . may not, but you are welcome to a copy.

An email to Duckworks will get you a current PDF copy of the installation instructions.

Not to highjack. But our instructions, which are on line and available for all installations, will not work.
Our leading edge landing light mount is quite different. Its modular, with individual sliding adjustable components to allow for differences in rib distance between models, and between builders in older non-prepunched kits.
You can see the modular adjustable sliding pieces here.

The hole mount locations for the ribs is in the same location. This allows you swap out older mounts that may have rectangular lights, or others. Our mount is a direct replacement for those and lets you easily convert from the rectangular lights to the more modern LED round PAR36 lights.

I'm pretty sure I still have them somewhere. I'll dig around the -6 degree hangar today and see.

Are you doing your condition inspection in that same -6F hangar? Yikes.
