CSK Instrument Panel Flange Doubler …-14 TASEsq
To close off on this thread, i ended up dimpling the F-1467A angle pieces with sub-structure dies, and dimpled the F-1467B flange doubler with normal dies. Had to upsize the rivets to -3.5. All nested nicely and was a lot quicker and easier than countersinking in my personal opinion.
Prior to painting in the cockpit color, I had to cleco it into the fuse for the money shot.

Fuel tank vacuum for repairing outside seam…Jesse23 update
Gonna try from the outside 1st. It’s weeping and not dripping, but small band aid before pulling the tank. I also removed the nut plate under the fuel line to make the sealant work easier. Will report after a week of dry time.

UPDATE: was able to do a A/B check with a mag from a friend who just pulled it to install a SureFly .. worked perfectly! I'm going to send in out for IRAN and we'll see what was wrong. I've run into a engine starting issue that I would like your advice on: I no longer can start the engine...

FF-01226A Missing Hole
Hi VAF, I am building new carburetor drip trays for my RV-12 because the old ones are corroded and cracking. I got the new parts in from Vans, FF-01226A, FF-01226B, FF-01226C, and FF-01226D. The relevant KAI section is 46-06. The picture in the KAI depicts three holes in one of the areas of the...

Fuel tank vacuum for repairing outside seam
Trying to use vacuum to suck in small amount of pro seal (Flamemaster) on bottom inboard flange near drain valve. It doesn’t drip, but starts staining the seam, and I wipe off after each flight. I also noticed the bead of sealant is very gummy on the outside of the seam in that area, when the...
