| Subject: | Firewall Recess undersized |
--> RV7-List message posted by: "Andrew Olech" <olechap@comcast.net>
I'm just starting to match the F-601K recess to the firewall (RV-7) and am
having difficulty aligning the holes. The top sides of the recess (airframe
coordinates) on the upper section, where the metal is formed using bends at
two different angles, is crinkled slightly...but the bends were made such
that the overall width of the recessed piece is undersized ~ 0.150. I'd
expect someone else has had this problem, hopefully; I'm debating using a
wood block and a hammer to try and take some of the bend out but I'm afraid
of either overdoing it and not being able to bend it back (after cold
working) or crinkling the sidewalls such that other holes won't line up. I
suppose you can't really see it unless you're looking for it... but I can
wait to see if there are any tried and true tricks to widening it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Andy Olech, RV-7
