Hi Bob,
Going by the survey that was done when the mod first came out, most people
used longer pins.

Subject: Europa-List: Europa Mandatory Mod 73 - re -use of original Pip-Pins
through the TP4 and TP6's
Fellow builders
My study of Mod 73 tells me that we are to put a 10mm piece of masking tape
on the underneath face of the TP6's to cover the hole and then two layers of
bid (1" squares) perhaps added to some dregs of dry flox used to fill the
corners of the hole in the skin, and then another two layers of bid from the
8" squares of bid that keep the TP 6 in place.
When I put a pip-pin throught the dry TP6 there appeared to be about 1.5mm
of clearance to the protruding balls.
As I am ready to lay glass, My question is please ---------
Has anyone done the Mod 73 Job and been able to still use their original pip
pins?
In other words - is it worth striving to keep cover over the TP6 as thin as
possible?
Or is it just impossible to retain use of the original pip pins?
Sincerely
JR (Bob) Gowing UK Kit No 327 in Oz as I try to complete tailplanes before
filling them.
