Hello all,
I've got an email out to Vans for some official advice. In the interim, I wonder how some of you might approach this. I made a bonehead move and mis-drilled the holes in the side skin that mate up with the F-612 back flange.
This is going to be in a somewhat visible area...even though it's a TD. I don't plan to replace the whole side skin. I do think it would be acceptable to add two strips of joggled aluminum in the red areas I've illustrated. This will allow me to fill the mis-drilled holes with rivets and add the row through the flange of the F-612. It'll at least look intentional.
Any opinions?
