Wavy bulkheads?

Post by RV9inIowa »

I'm inventory-ing my fuse kit. The F-706A bulkheads are "wavy". Even their webs aren't flat. Has anyone else had this? I can post a picture if needed.

I'll be fluting them for days!

OH YEAH!! Those things are the WORST looking parts in the whole kit when they come out of the box! Totally normal...they are ALL like that. :roll:

They go from this...

Dave, mine were like that also. Check the firewall well though as it shoudl not have any creases or ripples. Don't ask me why I recommend that.

They will be wavy until the day you screw in the rear baggage skin! Just one of the many RVisms.
