Bill,
Do you have a quick build and the parts are installed or ate the parts
loose and can be reworked? If the parts are off the joggle can be
reworked in a vise. tape a 1/8 thick piece of on metal opposite sides of
the joggled leg so that when you clamp them in the vice and everything
if flattened and parallel the angle leg will form a joggle. You may have
to experiment with some shims to get the joggle exactly at 1/8 inch. The
distance between the ends of the shims (on opposite sides of the angle
leg) should be about 1/4 inch apart to allow for the bends of the
joggle.

Subject: RV9-List: joggle
The joggles in the aft ends of 719 (the skin stiffeners that go
between firewall and carry thru) were poorly done by Van's and I can't
figure out how to fix them.
They need to be 1/8" deep to nest properly at the carry thru flange
and they are more like 1/16" deep. To compound this there is a serious
bulge made by whatever tool was used to make the joggle about 1 1/2"
forward of the end. This bulge is going to make quite a bump in the
skin if I don't do something about it.
Can any of you give me some guidance on how to fix this? About the
only thing I've come up with is to saw off the opposing leg of the angle
and then bend what's left to fit. Don't think this is such a great idea
though.

Russ,
Thanks very much. After practicing a bit I tried it and I think made
things a bit better. I did cause some distortion in the opposite flange
but can't see how that will hurt.
I don't have the quick build.
Are you flying yet?
