While giving my RV-8 a belly rub this morning (she likes that), I noticed some serious cracking along the front rivets of my cooling air ramp. It's time for a little repair.
I would like to modify the replacement parts as necessary to avoid the same cracks later. I searched on the topic here and found a couple of threads referencing stainless steel as well as a foam insert. I'm mainly interested in the foam insert. Dan Horton wrote a few years ago about his foam mod, but the photos are no longer in his posts.
Dan, do you have photos that you could re-post? Also, if anybody else has photos or experiences related to their repair, I would like to learn from you before I fix my plane. Thanks very much!
