Re: Repair Ideas..?
Ray 64 the exhaust is to blow the fumes out. If you don't remove the tank FILL IT WITH WATER .

Re: Repair Ideas..?
The broken piece is NOT part of the tank. It is a completely separate piece that is bolted in in front of the tank. Remove just that piece and weld it up. There are small bolts along the horizontal join just under the missing piece and around the cowl.
There seems to be quite a bit of confusion here between the 28/9 tank and cowl and the 30/31 setup. They are different.

Re: Repair Ideas..?
This is a nearly six year old thread.....
The problem was solved and the hole repaired six years ago. The panel adhesive worked just fine and is holding up perfectly. And no, that panel does not un-bolt from the tank. It is a part of the tank assembly, it is the panel where the tank assembly date is stamped. Those bolts you see along the seam allow you to remove the assembly, meaning the tank, firewall portion, top of the cowl and interior dash area as one unit. The description is from Les Andrews Vol. I, page 1-179

To answer your old problem again from today's perspective ... (For other people who have the same problem.) I would clamp a sheet metal between the bulkhead and the tank that serves as heat protection (possibly as a sandwich with an aramid fiber .) and then I would weld the spot with TIG. With TIG welding, very small currents can be welded in the smallest of spaces. The biggest problem would be to protect the area from rust with paint later on. Greetings Andy |
