The 3 bid reinforcement for the cored out area for the fuel drain extends well into the inboard most capstrip which is also the inboard edge of the fuel tank. My question is, should I remove the 3 bid to clear the capstrip which would be all the way to the microradius or should I remove a section of the capstrip and remake it to conform to the 3 bid? I'm worried about potential leaks. Any advice would be appreciated. MARK LALLY ES
