Great Lakes 2T-1A-2 Rebuild Diary

My Great Lakes 2T-1A-2 Rebuild Diary 2007.

22-August-2007. This evening I continued assembling the center section. I am only assembling the centre section to see what goes where as the old parts show marks where they were fitted. This makes assembly easier - a few pictures for reference then I can start rebuilding it.

I have also created a HELP ME page on this site for areas/parts etc that I don't know what fits. Please have a look especially if you have a Great Lakes 2T-1A-2.
Here is this evenings progress:

Fuel tank brackets.

There are a few tank brackets!

Front spar bracket.

Rear spar bracket.

I found all the old ribs, most are busted.

This is the state of the ribs.

This rib has broken both ends. I think it was the one that caused the cloth to detach.

The trailing edge and handle.

Trailing edge.

Fuel tank inspection cover. Not sure of the exact position as there are a number of holes. I will check the alignment with the tank.

Fitting the leading edge.
