plugging the leak

Can MEK be used to thin the sealant? That way the sealant would flow into the leaks when using the shop vac.

Pilot tube

There is a dry teflon lube that's used in sail boat sail tracks. If we see it's needed should work.

Tunnel wiring

Tunnel wiring

I took the leading edge angle that I cut the wing rib, trimmed it down and added it across the bowed up wire caps to hold them down. Cured my problem.

Sight glass

Looks like we have another problem with the tank. The sight glass is crazing. I got my finishing kit today. I hope Van finds the cure before I need to start my tank.
