Hi Ray - I'm sure Jack will answer but I'll throw in my thoughts. Those permanent fixtures are just that, permanent. The vast majority of builders cover them as Jack has. Take a look at www.westcoastpiet.com at the dozens of close-up photos there, including Jack's beautiful airplane. If you end up having to access covered fittings then yes, you're responding to a significant issue of some sort. We don't routinely "snug" structural bolts under fabric.If you do have to get to a covered bolt to do work, you cut the fabric, do thework, and then make your patch per the instructions you'll get with whatever coveringsystem you use. The fabric portion of those repairs would likely be completedin an afternoon.Best regards,Kevin--------Kevin "Axel" PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Pietenpol near Olive Branch, MS?

Michael,Thanks for the info. I assume the rims are aluminum and the spokes are stainless? Double wall rims? I will weigh mine tomorrow. I think they weigh more and they are chromed metal.Thanks,Ray Krause ----- Original Message -----
