I will be in the same position with kit 327.
Maybe we just have to use a thin nylon tube on our supplies of thinner
and Loctite 603 and try to get the end in a position to deposit the two
in turn into a place where it will find its way between the two surfaces
to locked together?

Subject: Europa-List: Europa Aircraft - Service Bulletin 15
Service Bulletin 15 requires application of Loctite 603 (after
degreasing) to the surface of TP4 in certain places.
My aircraft, serial 265, was built according to a Manual dated January
1996. Chapter 24, page 24-3, required an inspection panel of 4"
circumference at the rear of the fuselage, and that is what I built into
my aircraft.
Can anyone suggest how I can carry out SB 15 through this 4" hole,
which is of course reduced in internal diameter by the tabs that hold
the retaining screws? There is no way that I can reach TP4 and its
fittings, even with my very skinny arms.
I could, of course, climb into the fuselage, lying on multiple
cushions, etc - but I doubt if I would ever get out again! I had quite
enough trouble doing that when I did Mod 70 a few years ago.
How are other owners with 4" inspection holes carrying out this SB?
I know some aircraft have 5" holes there - including one here at
Shobdon which is much older than mine.
Any ideas will be most welcome - thank you all.
