Default Tip on the nose

Hi Tony

Though you probably have thought of it, as you work on the nose take a look at each of the panels as they are attached to the frame work. Look for panels that are in position but have broken spot welds or have separated away form the frame. (I'll post some pictures of the problem soon) I have discovered on both of my Pat 13s that this was a problem it has a number effects; one water leaks, two noise, three heat from the engine compartment. They used a tar like sealer on many of these that over the years has dried out and fallen away.

Also when it comes to mounting the nose there are a number of places had gasket material.

Keep up the good work, enjoy reading your progress updates.

Cheers Phil
