 |
|
Fellow RV Builders, I'm about to remove my wings for storage until painting, but before I put them up I want to rivet in the nutplates that hold the root farings on. Should these holes at the edge of the tanks be dimpled or countersunk ? Seem like they are pretty close to the Proseal and I'd hate to make a leak. What does everybody else do ? Thanks, Bill of Georgia

Just carefully squeeze the rivets in the nutplates and you shouldn’t have a problem. CJ

Hi Carl,
Use #6 screws, 3/8 dia 3/32 dimple die, and #6 dimple die with flat on sides
to clear tank edges. Pro seal doesn't harden completely ,so the dimpling shouldn't
cause leaking.

Ray, what does "flat on sides" mean? Thanks, Bill

Bill,
The female die will be 1/2" in dia., grind a flat to clear the edge of the tank.
Hope that helps.
