Im still in the planning/fund raising/getting permission from the misses stage but im planning on using either JC11 Celloseal or Duralac jointing compound. Both will protect against dissimilar metal corrosion and should give you some protection from water getting in through the floor pan aswell...
+ 1 for 5251.
Used it at work on some more robust aircraft panels, should work a treat for a floor pan! Its more like a mid-strength Ally and like Brett says its got good corrosion properties.
Does no one use air drills as well as rivet guns? A pneumatic gun for your pop rivets is also pretty handy, not only quicker and saves your hand from cramp with all those rivet, but they also give a nice consistant well formed rivet.
We have aeroquip hoses fail quite often at work, seems to be when they have been left unused and dry for a while they seem quite happy to perish, like people have said already they are only rubber hoses under metal braiding at the end of the day.
Not sure if this should be in the racing section or not..
What series can you run a replica GT40 in the UK and/or Europe? Not sure if im being rubbish but I cant find any links or anything.
Cheers!
Great site Trevor! Got it bookmarked, just the kit im looking at getting hopefully sometime in the not too distant future! A nice late xmas present that is!
