Brief Description:  Fuel Cap Sleeve Installation

Installed the fuel cap sleeves into the upper wing panels. I used a fly cutter on a hand drill to cut the holes. A little dangerous but it cut beautiful holes that fit the sleeve perfectly. I bondo'd a flat strip of wood across the high point of the openings on the outside skin. the sleeves were held in position with small dabs of bondo on the outside skin and push into contact with the strip of wood. this held the sleeves in a precise location just protruding slightly above the outer skin surface. I then used mill fiber mix to start bonding the sleeve. I am doing the mill fiber in two batches to minimize shrinkage. First bacth is done. After cure I will sand the sleeves flush with the upper wing skin.
