Work begins on the Torque Tube area. First job is correction of a couple of previous repairs.

First the intermediate panel, which was left with a big chunk missing at the end of previous work. Lighter, I guess, but not ideal for structural integrity of this area....

Barry free-handed the repair panel in 18swg as usual. Will be welded in as part of the final assembly of the TT / inner sill area.

The other correction was to a repair below the torque tube, in the area of the ARB mount.

But not so nice from the other side:

So out it comes, replaced by another hand-formed repair piece:
