I got my replacements from a VW supplier at a reasonable cost. Anyway, the next time my sensor fails I'm mounting it remotely... kp ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:41:29 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Fuel cap / Cobra reinforcement From: --> Europa-List message posted by: Just finished up my fuel cap / Cobra reinforcement tonight. 2BID with PeelPly 1/8" Balsa 1BID I will list details in case anyone is interested: 2 BID from seam of fuse, to door frame, and 3" aft of Cobra and above filler rebate. Staggered each layer 1/2" shorter aft of Cobra and above filler. After 2BID I covered with peel ply and let cure. I bonded in place 1/8" balsa 6.5" wide. I selected 4" wide Balsa that was long grain, very flexible width, to conform to fuse curve. I used JB Weld Kwik (4 minute) buttered Balsa with Spackle knife. I sanded the ends of balsa down to 1/16" prior to bondimg in place. Then floxed edges of Balsa and laid up final BID. I find JBing small pieces is a reasonable procedure if you don't have necessary stuff for vacuum bagging. I covered filler hole with Balsa. Once cured will cut filler hole, dig out some Balsa and fill with flox. Ron Parigoris
