 |

Doug,
It has been some time since I crossed that bridge, but I followed the plans. Then after walking around the thing for a mile or two it just looked like there was room for, and a need for, more cork.
I found a hardware store selling sheet cork from a roll in 36-inch width, any length. In the areas where a piece larger than just a narrow strip would fit, I inserted cork.
Actually, some pieces were glued to the tank, some to the wing.....whichever fit best.
Bottom line was that I attempted to prevent any chafing/rubbing between tank and wing.
Some "craft" stores handle cork in sheets, and in several thicknesses.

Doug,
I asked Nick a similar question a few days ago.
Should there be any support between the rear wall of the fuel tank
and the wing tank channel (7-V-11-2K)? Without such it would seem
that the tank could move fore and aft.
Nick's reply:
There should be not metal to metal contact between the tank and the
airframe.
Add cork between the back of the tank and the wing tank channel 7V11-2K. If
necessary, it is also acceptable to double up on the cork for a snug fit.
