Forum;
I bought a partially completed kit. The right wing is done, I am working on the left. I am having trouble leveling the tank baffle. I have tried all kinds of shims but I can never get it to the exact place where the tank skin rivets wont hit the baffle at the bend. To compound the problem, the previous builder already installed the nutplates in the spar web. The plans are horrendous!!
I have a prepunched skin for the tank.
Question: How do I line up the holes in the skin with the right place on the tank baffle? I can never seem to find the right height. What size shims did everyone use to hold the take baffle off the spar?
