She is planning a trip to Sun n' Fun in a couple of years and would like anyone on her flight path to accompany her as far as they can. She invited me to fly with her all the way to Florida.

Each vertical seam can be welded on the inside and outside. May only use rivets to the attach the top to the long baffle down the center and then weld over them. John, If you drill some 3/8" -- 1/2 ' holes in the top skin you can plug weld them to the center baffle. This would be stronger than trying to rivet the top to the baffle. Also if you dont get the steel mandrel out of the pop rivet you will introduce steel into your aluminum weld ,when you try to weld over it ,which is not a good thing. The industry standard for fitting up an aluminum gas tank is a corner to corner weld, which, when welded with the proper heat,using the tig method will leave a uniform penetration which will look like it has a bead on the inside. Good luck.

I could see your suggestion working also. Do you think the hole has to be 3/8" - 1/2". Seems like a 1/4" would work. I know several people have had success with weld over aluminum rivets method. I can see that if the rivet fails or pulls through the two pieces would seperate. The head of the rivet is only fused to the top plate. More to ponder. -------- Thanks too much, John Bickham Mark III-C "Using my Repairman Certificate" St. Francisville, LA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=36476#36476 ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 06:16:58 PM PST US From: "John Murr" Subject: Kolb-List: Nose Repairs Needed --> Kolb-List message posted by: "John Murr" Question for the group.

John, You might be able to get by with a 1/4 " hole, but I think it is easier if you have the hole big enough that you can get your tungsten in close enough to the baffle ,that you can concentrate the heat on it so it burns into it before the upper skin starts to melt, and you fill op the hole before you burn into the baffle. I suggest a mock up trial run . Be sure you have a method to clamp the upper skin down in the vicinity of the hole you are welding. Chances are the upper skin will want to pull away from the baffle. If you do not burn into the baffle when you fill the hole, the tank will not leak, but the baffle will not be secure. I dont know if you remember me but I met you at the Allen Parrish Fly-in about 3 years ago. Good luck! Let me know how it goes. Ed Diebel ( Houston) Do Not Archieve
