Cherokee 235 tip tanks

Does any know of a replacement option for the tip tanks on my 235?

Mine hadn't been used for 25+ years and so I put 3 gallons in each to see how they would do. I know the anticipation is killing you but guess what, they leaked.

I like the idea of having the extra 34 gallons but not sure if there's any hope of replacing or repairing them.

    Hi and thanks for writing. I've consulted our January 2018 Piper Source Guide and it references the following companies. I don't have contact info so you'll need to do a web search.
    Aero-Trim, Inc. Aviation Enterprises, LLC. Loree Air, Inc. Woodstock Aircraft Services.

    Good luck and let us know how you do on a repair.

    Just a FYI, I called Woodstock Aircraft Services today 7/5/22 and they do not do anything with Piper Fuel Tanks anymore. I did not inquire about other services, but just wanted to let the group know.
