I have reviewed all posts on doublers and this is what will be used for a Comant bent whip mounted behind the spar on the outboard cell.
Here is the location of the (to be) finished doubler.
Hopefully a better view of the doubler in position. Note that the rivets along the bottom of the spar flange, and on right along the outer skin would be drilled and common rivets used to secure two sides of the doubler.
This is the best shot of the doubler alone. The two slots are to clear fluting on the side skins on the floor. The joggles go the right direction although it does not appear so.
I have looked at AC43-13 but don't see where guidelines for rivets in the flat area are stated - some help there would be appreciated.
How does this look, too much? Problems/issues? It just appeared easier to joggle and use existing rivet locations for appearance and better structure. The part will be alodined prior to riveting.
Constructive comments invited.
