Can't say it was a fun job but was sortof in a strange way :) I've searched high and low and can't seem to find the amount to fill my nose gear (non-dipstick model). Anybody help here? BTW, just an update on oak control wheel hubs- I'm about 80% of the way through my first set (prototype) and they're looking and fitting super! Thanks to all that responded with interest in ordering a set- I'll be sending out pics of this first set here shortly. Keep em flying!

After hearing horror story after horror story from RV builders about Pro-Seal I was pleasantly surprised to find it isn't all that bad. A buddy and I just finished up the LH tank in about 2 hours flat. Of this about 1:15 was spent riveting and sealing and about 45 spent cleaning up smears and smudges, etc. Sure it was messy and took a lot of patience and constant cleaning but all in all it was really easy. Stripping and cleaning the tanks was by far harder than pro-sealing and riveting them back together. Here's a few tips.... 1. Plan on using a whole quart of acetone. As soon as you pull a cleco out throw it in a coffee cup of acetone to keep the goop from destroying it. We only used about a dozen clecos btw. I thought I'd use more but with two people that's all we had to use. 2. Buy a box of 50 latex gloves ($6.99 at Bi-Mart) and plan on using at least half of them for each tank. These get goobered up in a hurry plus the fingers tear off. While you're at the store buy a pack of popsickle sticks. 3. Take your "rag bag" out with you and use lots of rags dipped in acetone. I took old socks and duct taped them around all my tools (one on each handle of the squeezer, etc) and this kept them nice and clean. Definitely a good idea, especially since I borrowed the squeezer from an RV-9A builder friend. 4. Speaking of squeezers- you can do the whole thing with a rivet gun and bucking bar and while you will have to use it for around the fittings (gas cap, outlet, etc) I highly recommend finding a local RV builder and borrowing their hand squeezer for all the edge rivets. You'll need one with at least a 2" throat. WIth the soft rivets squeezing is a *piece of cake*! Really, I did it most of the time with one hand since the rivets squeeze so easily. And if you've never squeezed rivets before then invite the RV builder over and buy him/her a case of Black Butte Porter for helping you out for a couple hours. Of course make sure to drink the beer *after* you're done or you may end up permanently pro-sealed to your tank :) 4. Buy the 3.5 oz Pro-Seal in a 6 oz cartridge. You'll need two and at just over $18 a piece (Aircraft Spruce) they're cheaper than buying a whole pint plus they are slicker than can be. You pump the little handle and it mixes the stuff up for you in the cartridge in the perfect amount and then you can take the cartidge and put it in a standard calking gun and squeeze out nice beads wherever you want it. Then just take the popsickle stick and spread. Very slick. Plus the 3.5 oz ended up *exactly* the amount we needed. We weren't sure if we were going to make it but sure enough ended up blessed :) 5. If you even *think* your tanks need rebuilding get your mechanics blessing and just do it!!! Pro-Seal is amazing stuff and will surely last another 50 years and you'll fly much happier knowing that the #1 cause of engine related accidents (fuel issues) is drastically reduced by having good clean tanks. And for gosh sakes if you have tanks that have been sloshed then by ALL MEANS rebuild those buggers! Believe me, I learned the hard way! Sloshing compound is bad news! Keep em flying!
