Bob,
If you make a drawing could you send me one-I don't have the balsa formers
wither. Just wondering-did you get an e-mial I sent you about the Wing Numbers?

I probably shouldn't ask, but you have the balsa pieces that are placed over the
fuel/electrical wires on the front side of the door post? They go from the
spruce piece that the fuel valve mounts to, then all the way up to the air vent
inlet.

I plan to run a 3" cotton tape, only 1 layer thick, from top to bottom around
the door post, fuel lines covered by the balsa. Then put the upholstery around
that. Then fasten the rear of the windshield frame back down.

You will need to watch how much fabric you wrap around the door post, because
all that material will push the windshield frame outward.

I don't remember if the 2 balsa pieces are shown in the CD.
Mine aren't installed, at this time. Making a drawing won't be a problem.

'Bob I would love pictures - I am having trouble making a tidy job of the balsa as the fuel pipes 'bulge' forward at the bottom where they go through the spruce midway down the door frame

My e-mail is 'coxs(dot)gorrel(at)virgin(dot)net' or I could get a look if you upload them to the group photo section.

Many thanks

Frank

I know that this was a long time in coming. I had to relearn the use of the
computer. I forgot how to get to "ymail.com". If you would like photos of any
specific area, I may be able to help. I routed to fuel line up the front face
of the "A" pilar, then managed to make the turn to the rear and have both lines
above the mounting bracket for the assist strap and flush with the inboard face
of the assist mounting bracket. My original fuels were a poor pattern. I
thank that reflects unfavorably of the repairs made in 1948.

'I will do that.  I think that I have most of it in the old computer that I set
aside.  I tried it moving the drawing as a  .jpg.   That turned it into
something you wouldn't like to step in.  If push come to shove, I'll draw it
again.  I will probably just burn everything onto a CD.
