From: andrew cullum Hi Jeremy, The windscreen and doors don't require Any bid overlay,as the Araldite 420 bond is very good. We simply filled the gap with Araldite 420/flox mix,carefully scraping off the excess with a blade to get the surface as flat as possible to leave a minimum amount of sanding when cured. Best regards Andy Cullum G-CGDH.

I just lowered them to a position and angle that they did fit, then marked positions for clecos on the port side by eye. The nose of the lower rib needs trimming but that is covered in the manual. Don't drill the starboard side because once you are working with the Araldite you will never find them again. Bond and cleco stbd in one go. http://europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=100799 The ribs are there to provide torsional stiffness to the fin and are not load carrying. Moving them around a bit shouldn't make any difference at all. They don't even need to exactly parallel. I would steer away from reinforcements other than the bond itself because that just adds weight. -------- Jeroen http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=44165 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=409115#409115 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
