Lanier Edge 540T Thrust Line Question
Eohlin
My tube was pretty close to be free floating so this is what I did.
Used my dremel tool with a small sanding drum and removed the wood on the root of the wing that holds the phenolic tube in. I then used a marker to mark the tubes position. I Pulled the tube out and sanded it down. I used pro-bond polymer glue and glued the tube back in place. I used a small phillips head screwdriver and put it through the 4-40 hole where the wing tube bolt goes in. This kept the tube aligned while the glue dried. Once the glue was cured (about 2 hours) I took the wing tube and coated it with a very very light coat of Vaseline (approx 3 inches, 1 inch into the phenolic tube and 2 inches out of the tube) . I then cut up some fiberglass into really fine strands. Mixed it with 5 min epoxy and put it around the wing tub where I dremeled out the wood. Once the epoxy was cured I removed the wing tube and gave the root a quick sanding.
