Brian,

Have you checked with Andy Draper? He can advise if your solution gives rise
to a strength issue.

Regards,

Gents:

I started work on the stall warner horn this weekend. 

The instructions say that the air tube should be installed through the
flange 
of the forward rib BL102. 

 The measurements 
given in the instruction , 1 3/4 from the W11 brackets completely missed the

rib flange!  I peeked through the holes after they were drilled.  My guess
is 
that it was a half inch miss to outboard.... Grrr    Perhaps my rib is off?

 My guess is you want to drill through the flange for added support of the 
tube?

Anyway I installed the air tube but used a syringe filled with redux / flox 
and pack a lot into the leading edge and spar area since I did not hit the
rib 
flange.  Also made sure the tube was at the proper angel on the leading
edge.

Do you think this will be OK with enough support for the tube?

Anyone noted this problem before?
