GorkyPickeral Posted November 7, 2023 Report Posted November 7, 2023 Just found intergranular corrosion on the doubler where the lower fuselage tube runs through the spar on my 62 C. Is it worth/possible repairing?
Jsno Posted November 7, 2023 Report Posted November 7, 2023 That will depend on many factors: How much is the plane worth? Are you doing the work or paying a shop? There is a blog on here where someone just replaced it, Could check that out. I believe it was Alan Fox.
Jsno Posted November 7, 2023 Report Posted November 7, 2023 My mistake it was Irmin and it was the secondary spar. BAS Parts Sales has a wing for M20c for $5k. I think that is the way that I would go as opposed to a repair.
67 m20F chump Posted November 9, 2023 Report Posted November 9, 2023 I replaced the wing on my F. It was a big job and the only other option was parting her out.

GorkyPickeral Posted November 10, 2023 Author Report Posted November 10, 2023 Discussed with Maxwell, spar is very likely finished so replacement is probably what will happen. I do have the equipment necessary on site for that level of disassembly. Thanks everyone for the input. 2
