I'm in the interesting situation where the scuttle closing plate has completely disintegrated however the scuttle itself is fine, has anyone tried fitting a scuttle closing plate with the wing and scuttle in place?
I said I'd do it, there's no need to remind me every 6 months!! |

I've managed it in the past but only with a good scuttle; looking at yours, it still looks a bit crusty on the lip. |

Looking at it on the pc, the photo is a great deal clearer. There looks to me a fair bit of corrosion on the inner wing as well. I'd remove the wing and a panel and do it properly. I'd expect the scuttle id probably going to need a degree of repair |

Yeah gave the top of the wing below the scuttle a bash and a little hole appeared so I think it's going to be wing off and have a proper look at what is going on in there, I know the inner wing needs replacing as a lot of it came off with the A panel, and there's a pretty sizeable hole at the bottom of it. I said I'd do it, there's no need to remind me every 6 months!! |

If it's anything like mine, you'll find even more grot once you remove the panels to get access to the closing panel! A light tidy up turned into a full nut and bolt resto! |

So as a continuation to this I took the wing off to revile this:
