recovering question

[chopperpilot1955]

I am looking for the measurments as to where to put the rear strut access hole where the strut goes up into the wing and bolts to spar. My old covereing was destroyed by my wife before I could get the measurements. If anyone knows where I can get a drawing or info on the size and location of the square hole it would be great!

Thanks!

I could take a measurement off of my 79' 7ECA if you still need it.

Thanks! Cody, If I can't find the measurements soon I might take you up on that. It will be a couple of weeks before i start covering.

Chopper, what model, year, and wood spar or aluminum?

For example, the center of the patch is 111.75 inches from the edge of the butt rib on a metal spar 7GCBC. However, the butt rib might be slightly different on other models.

The inside of the patch is always flush with the face of the attachment fitting (usually the face of the spar)

I was able to get some measurements off a Citabria in the local area but I do appreciate the help fellows.
