Wing Sockets

Hi There
Trying again for the third time, my emails seem to be getting cut short any
suggestions. I am trying this from another machine.
I am having to change three out of four of the ali plates in the fuselage
for the W27 and W26 wing sockets. The mod procedure is to remove the outer
skin locally and cut the existing plate to allow room for the new one. I
have done one by using a Dremel with cutting disc using a wet sponge on the
inside to keep it cool. Even so it still gets hot and I am afraid of
causing delamination of the glass. Also cutting the existing plate in situ
wuithout damaging the inner skin is a long arduous job. Has anyone found a
better method? It would seem to me removing the entire existing plate would
be easier rather than trying to cut it. Any suggestions?

If this hasnt come through I'll go back to using pigeons.
