I’m working on the splice strip (W-1019) that goes between the fuel tank and outboard leading edge. Normally it would come attached to the fuel tank skin and you would separate them, but since I purchased someone else’s finished QB tanks I just ordered the strip by itself.
For some reason my W-1019 strip has holes for just one type of nutplate for the whole part. The plans show that the aft nutplates on the top and bottom would use a different nutplate. Functionally I don’t see any issue with it, but I’m wondering if anyone can shed light on if this would be a problem or not. Are there any clearance issues in that area? I’ll likely call Vans on Monday, but I’d like to squeeze these rivets this weekend.
Thanks!
