Thank you Steve - and so quick!

I have to make new tank covers due to corrosion and them not fitting on the new Dakota ribs ie. they are a real mess.
However the specs table at bottom right on the Northland and Chistian's drawings...

I use "Simple Green Extreme" to clean sheep sh*t from under the wings, Bird sh*t from the top, flies from the leading edge and the prop and oil from the belly - mix with water in a bucket and apply...

Thanks a lot Steve,

I thought that was the case but could not find a drawing which showed it. The old ones were both sitting on the capstrips.

Quick question folks

Does the tank cover sit on the capstrip of ribs #1 and 4 or on the flanges - ie. be 'countersunk'?

The Dakota Cub leading and trailing edge covers are 'countersunk'.

I sharpen the end of an old hacksaw blade on one side and dig carefully under the head of the nail and prise it up a little until I can get a tack claw under it - works for me.

Thank you all

Yes, that was a magnified picture and it did look worse than it turned out to be.

With regard to a new spar - by the time I have shipped a $308 Dakota Cub spar over the pond the...

Folks,
I found this on the web of the rear spar (PA18-150 16 rib wing) under the outboard flap hinge bracket

I have spot blasted it (glass beads) and started to blend it but became...

Thanks Steve - that did not show up when I did a search.

Folks,

I am completely refurbishing my wings and am having a problem removing the two steel bushes (Pt No 80022-31) from the rear spar root which have been in there 65years! Is there a neat...

Thank you Steve - you got me looking in the right place - here's what I found

The bad one

the previous 'repairer?' must have left the bolt loose and tightened it...

Folks

While doing a trial fit of the false spar and flap and aileron hinges I found that the inboard flap hinge hung at a different angle to that from the outboard one which prevented the inboard...

Bill,
I have Cub Crafters STC SA00281NY which covers it - about $150 I think.

Update on my neatly curved spars - Post #7

After much head scratching I discovered the lower leg of the N brace was 1/8" short ie. same length as the upper one - great rebuild earlier in the...

Could this be what you are looking for David - I have measured mine and they are pretty close to the measurements given

Thanks Steve

I'm obviously not the only one that has been caught by this one.

When you spoke with D C did they say if they supplied the nose ribs for that position with the 'cut out' already in...

Thank you Steve,

The nose rib set as supplied by D C did not include two that were notched so I notched one, as in the photo, to fit in the same position as the original Piper part. This put the...

Folks
I'm having a bit of bother getting my head round how the Dakota Cub nose rib at the N brace is 'Modified' to fit at the lower spar cap around the forward strut attach fitting and spacer,
Any...

Very many thanks everyone - lots of useful tips - I will start from scratch again.
I had marked both spars with a bolt through the root fittings and used trammel points to square the first bay but...

Folks

This is my first time trammeling a 16 rib Cub wing.

Having read many posts here plus the Dakota Cub support sheet it all seems to be pretty simple in my mind.

However having squared...

Brilliant - Just what the doctor ordered

Many thanks Steve and Akwing

Folks,

I am rebuilding a PA18-150 which has been through the wars - ex Israeli Air Force.
A lot of the hardware in the 16 rib wings is corroded or has lost its cadmium plating and needs...
