Subject: | fuel cap flange fit |
--> RV9-List message posted by: Paul Eastham <eastham@netapp.com>
Hi everyone,
I'm at the step where I need to drill the fuel cap flange to the tank skin,
and it really doesn't match the contour of the skin/ribs well at all.
I've rotated it and found the existing bend in the cap but it is not enough.
Seems like it will look like a mess once they are riveted together.
Pictures on the web look like a good fit...can anyone straighten me out here?
Thanks!
Paul

You'll need to carefully shape the flange a bit to conform to the curve. I
think I used hand seamers. The material is pretty soft.
