Rear Panel Patch Repair - inserting Clecos















I spent ages filing the edges of the 'window' in the rear panel to get the Patch to sit inside it neatly. That was actually the hardest and most time consuming part! My arms are aching from it writing this post! - still, the better the prep work the easier the job will be to finish and better the outcome..

Once the Patch fitted neatly, I temporarily clamped it in place with G and C Clamps.

















I drilled 2.5mm holes at roughly 8cm intervals right at the join line.














The 3/32" Clecos were inserted and closed using M2.5 washers on the inside of the patch.


I used about 20 or so Clecos for the entire patch.
