 Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 5:25 pm Post subject: Leading Edge Splice Strip |
 |
|
I went to attach my leading edges to the main spars today. It appears that the aft nutplates on the top and bottom of the fuel tank splice strip have one rivet that sits firmly on the main spar.
It has been my experience thus far that if it feels wrong, then I have probably put something together backwards. In this instance, I can't figure out where I went wrong. It seems to me that they should have put a one lob nutplate in that location, but the plans don't seem to call it out.
Is it normal to have a rivet ride on the spar and cause the skin to push up slightly? I have searched the archives, but haven't found any direct hits. Anyone remember this section?
Thanks in advance.

Eric, I recently attached my leading edges and had the same problem on one wing. If the rivet is squeezed sufficiently (over squeezed) it won't interfere. I didn't discover the problem, of course, till I had the leading edge riveted to the spar. My solution was to slide a thin piece of steel between the rivet and spar, and then pound the rivet a bit more with the gun in order to get it squashed down enough. Be careful with the spar!
