Tooling
 

Tim,
I have done things to cars at race tracks out of nescessity for many years, sometimes we just have to get on with it, leaving a little perfection on the table. The nice thing about you being an Engineer is you know which area in this process is really important and I think your repair will be effective. The procedures of your discipline are the connerstone of the Racing Industry.
Just look what Rutan did this morning "Fantastic"
Best regards

Are you also an EAA member racing97? If so, are you going to Oshkosh this year?

Sorry I'm not an EAA member Tim, I was fortunate to have a Mentor that was involved in the Aircraft Industry at the time of Piston to Axial Flow change over, as well as involvement with the SR71. My experience is probably just a little Aircraft but mostly Engine and some Machining and Fab along the Motorsports vane.
I have no time this year but I would love to go to Oshkosh.
Heck I would love to have had a formal education.
Best regards
