FuelFiller08Ann
a small shipment of bits and pieces arrived from Aircraft Spruce (http://www.aircraftspruce.com ). In the shipment were the threaded rod end for the rudder drive rod and two circle clamps for the fuel filler pipe. Installed the circle clamps to the filler pipe hose, fastening it to the filler inlet to the fuel tank. Clamped the fuel filler head in place to the fuselage. Scuff sanded the area of the fuel filler head and adjacent skin. Mixed up a batch of Araldite 420 A/B and FLOX. Applied the Araldite/FLOX around the head to form a FLOX fillet. Mixed a batch of epoxy and prepared a 2-ply BID layup which was applied over the head of the filler pipe.
