Fellow listers,



Having just got my wings aligned I'm looking at the forward fuel tank 

support and its attachment to the fuselage.



I only have a 29/32 overlap which is smaller than the diagram implies - I 

think they're using a smaller washer than the one provided.



Any ideas on a minimum edge distance would be appreciated.

Ralph,

  

 Just did mine. Supposed to be half inch all the way around. Mine is a -6a, but I used the newer steel fuse tabs from the -7's and their plans say half inch so that's what I used. BTW, I originally bent the thick alum tabs the required 5 deg but didn't like the looks of the bend. Looked like it had been stressed, and couldn't polish out the marks so went with the steel ones. They are prefabbed, all you have to do is bend them and only $10/pair.

BTW Ralph,



  

 That steel tab is very long so is more than adequate for edge distance.I  cut mine of to save an ounce...  IIRC, you're talking about a -6 or 8a??

6A - I'll contact vans about the newer steel parts - or the appropriate  compromise for what I've got.....
