I fitted the fwd dek with cleco's and can see a 1/8 or so depression on the outer surface. Is this normal?? To fix this I can 1) Leave it as is what would make insurting a pin into the planed piano hinge very difficult and then "fix" the outer surface with micro, or 2) Heat this area :( (Worries) and then try to bend it outward. Any ideas ???? On the same note the fwd dek does not fit exactly on the firewall it seams that on the right side there is a smaller curve with a again a 1/8 cap when looking from the engin side. Would it be save to heat this area so that it may relax onto the firewall curvature?? How can this heat be applied safly??? HELP?? -- Pine Pienaar pine@cpro.co.za Lancair 360 #664
