History
Report
The company was then purchased by Frank Johnson in 1979, moved downstairs to a 1200 sq.ft. When my wife and I purchased the company we asked Frank why he called it Acorn. Frank claimed "from the little acorn comes the great oak", so we decided to keep the name and try and live up to it". Acorn Welding has grown to become Canada's largest aircraft exhaust and engine mount company.

Engine Mounts
Report
Your engine mounts are one of the higher stressed parts of your aircraft and for this reason, you should only allow qualified and experienced hands to service it. Here at Acorn, the process starts with the engine mounts being media blasted so that every area of concern is revealed, then on to our experienced QC department.
Fuel Tanks
Report
It only stands to reason that you would want to put your fuel tank into qualified hands for repair. Removing a leaking fuel tank from an aircraft is a job you only want to do once. Welded by qualified and experienced technicians every fuel tank repair receives three leak tests - an air pressure leak test, a liquid fill leak test and finally a liquid penetrant inspection.
Float Kits
Report
These narrow body aircraft are essentially the same fuselage as a Cessna 180 or 185. With an average stock empty weight of 1540lb, these models are significantly lighter than later 182 models and are very attractive to many for this reason as a floatplane. This STC incorporates a complete fuselage conversion package including reinforced firewall, heavy duty float style engine mount, and updated Acorn Welding Exhaust.
