Finished Shims for Right Tank

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I finished fabricating the shims to make the outboard leading edge flush with the tank on the right wing.  It's hard to tell from this picture, but these shims vary in thickness along their lengths anywhere from <0.010" to around 0.040".  Unfortunately, it's really hard to tell for sure if these are exactly the right thickness because clecos can't exert enough clamping force to pull everything together as tightly as rivets will.  I'm just going to have to rivet it together and trust that my measurements were accurate.
