Does anyone know of a kit one can purchase to add static wicks to PA-28's?
I've got a '72 Cherokee 180G that I'm wanting to add static wicks to.  I
know Piper must have manufactured some Cherokees with wicks, because I see
them in the IPC.  But I can't find in the maintenance manual anywhere that
it talks about procedures for adding wicks.

I added static wicks to my 1968 Arrow about 15 years ago as part of the 
certification for an IFR loran. I ordered the drawings  from Piper. I 
don't remember the details, but I should still have the drawings. 
Basically, there are two wicks on each aileron, flap and on the rudder 
and stabilator. Plus you need to add a grounding strap between the 
airframe and each of the above control surfaces. You also need to get a 
good bond between the wick and the aircraft which means getting down to 
bare metal and then painting.
