Joe,
You can shave those but I would recommend that you follow the previous advice and wait awhile. Shaving on a surface that is flexible is pretty tough and the chances of making things worse is very high. Pick up a roll of "Magic" scotch tape, if works fine for back riveting.

I am having problems with the fuel line bends. I have one of the 180 degree benders and get good results in most cases, but when a "S" bend is required it is impossible to get the second bend to start without a significant amount of straight line between the tangent points of the bends. I was wonder...

I do pretty good on locating the bends but has anyone got a good way to get the tube nice and straight after you unroll it. Some guys lines look like they are straight as an arrow between the bends which make them look great, but I can't seem to get them that way.

Chad,
Thanks the pictures help a lot!

Can anyone offer any good tips on fitting the stiffeners to the upper forward aft skin from the aft baggage bulkhead down to the longeron for a slider? I can't seem to get any kind of fit that seems acceptable and the drawing and plans on this are pretty worthless.
Thanks
