Hi Kent

Thank you very much.    I can get the right thickness 4130.

But why not use aluminum ?    I think that would be lighter.   Is there some real advantage to 4130 ?

I also have a sheet of an alloy of Titanium but no idea of the, type of alloy, the strength (it is thin), and no tools to work Ti.

I kinda need a plan but I guess that is obvious.

(from CP 11 page 7, see attached image)

Add these instructions to the end of Step 8 (on Page 8-7): Before mounting the fuel tanks, round the edge of the wing fitting plates and layup a three-inch strip of UND wrapped twice around the centersection spar as shown. This provides a glass surface for the cowling lip layup (see Section IIA), stiffens the spar end, and safeties the wing fitting screws.

@spmg76013 I now see why you're concerned. Crossing my mind was the following:

1. Remove the fittings, clean-up, and treat with alodine or another coating.
2. Re-install.
3. Layup a modified UNI schedule, still two 3" wide plies, but from the top of the tank, around the spar, to the bottom of the tank (tapering the top layup).

I'd want an opinion on that from someone else though, and regardless I just might do exactly what you're planning to do. You have easy access to get in that area NOW so why not put your mind at ease? Doesn't look like a crazy amount of work, but I feel your pain!

Then again, I doubt anyone who has treated these wing fittings has cut the tanks open after effectively negating the 55" x 3" UNI wrap!

Looks like I'll be cutting into my fuel tanks and cowl flange to install that layup, when I remove my wing attach fittings.

I'd be looking for ways to avoid that, but I would weigh against the importance of those 2 plys of UNI which I have no idea what they're for.

Your head is clearly in the right area though, erring on the side of caution, but damn... cutting into your fuel tanks. It may not be that bad after all if the tanks are not yet sealed.

Is that piece structural?

Likely not.  It is probably a cover built onto the canard.  Can be removed by cutting it off and gently sanding off the layups that attach it with a small angle-grinder and sanding disk but don't sand into the canard skin layups.
