Default RE: WOW! Another Sig Somethin Extra Build




Okay... I've had my first Woops! event... however it seems to have led me to another and more larger WOOPS! event... I slipped with a tool near the fuse and cracked out a piece of the top fuse rear sheet... no big deal as I just need to repair it and glue it back in and a touch of filler and good to go.

BUT

this lead me to start scrutinizing the fuse... I think I might have a twist [sm=eek.gif]. I put the fuse on it's own and it looked like the firewall wasn't straight. a right angle next to it confirmed it. So I started a regimen of right angle checks and documented them. I guess this is where I wonder if this issue might be soved in sanding or am I SOL? Anyone and eveyone toss in their 2 cents, please!

Pic 1: First look.
Pic 2: Level on the back.
Pic 3: Top front view.
Pic 4: Weighted the sides at the front with right angle to get perpendicular to flat surface.
Pic 5: Right angles at the rear when the front was weighted. Initial damage viewable also.
Pic 6: Weight removed at front.
Pic 7: Right angles at the rear when weight removed from front. Initial damage viewable also.
