Hi all

I have noticed that the area above and fwd of the left longeron, the
beaved up area also attaching to the firewall has a inward bend.
I fitted the fwd dek with cleco's and can see a 1/8 or so depression on
the outer surface. Is this normal??

To fix this I can 1) Leave it as is what would make insurting a pin into
the planed piano hinge very difficult and then "fix" the outer surface
with micro, or 2) Heat this area :( (Worries) and then try to bend it
outward.

Any ideas ????
  
On the same note the fwd dek does not fit exactly on the firewall it
seams that on the right side there is a smaller curve with a again a 1/8
cap when looking from the engin side. Would it be save to heat this area
so that it may relax onto the firewall curvature??

How can this heat be applied safly???

HELP??
