Attached the Left Fuel tank to the Wing assembly/spar. The left tank had a very persistent leak, that I tried 4 times to patch w/ |
|
pro-seal, I went back through all of the photos in the photo album and discovered that I most likely had not put Pro-seal in this |
|
particular place, the leak is where the T10005L tank attach bracket meets the skin and the outboard most rib. I was feeling really |
|
stupid, but when I went over to help another builder buck some rivets, I found he had exactly the same leak in exactly the same |
|
place, It didn't make the leak go away, but it made me feel less stupid. I finally got the leak stopped, by replacing the rivet that is |
|
closest to the spot with an Opps rivet (a 4 or 5) for some extra length, and then I squooze the !@# of out it, I made a couple of |
|
dents in the skin with the squeezer, but they will be easily covered with bondo, and the leaks finally gone!!!! |
