Thanks Dan

Hi Dan:

Please send me an email with the information that you would like on the data plate. Please write it out in the order you would like to see it on the plate and I will see what I can do to make it fit.
Once I get it to fit, I will send you and email of how it will look, before I commit to engrave it.

Nice site with nice items. I was particularly attracted to the fuel filler plate.

However I wonder if there's padding under the rivets or to they just press against the fuel tank?

Does the nylon go under the plate, skin and go between rivets and fuel tank skin?

Hi Ghazan:
There is ample clearance between the bottom of the rivets and the tank. As well, there are other rivets that are above the tank as you build the wing. They have been installed by quite a few 750, as well as other builders.
The standard Zenith rivets do not extend more than 1/8 on the bottom side of the skin.

The nylon ring is like a train track, it is installed with one half above the trim ring, and the other half below the trim ring.
