Approved doublers for bulkheads?

Post by b61652 »

1946 Cessna 120. I have a question around bulkhead 0411107 the rear bulkhead under the floor pan between the seats and battery. Looks like I have some corrosion due to a critter and I have a popped rivet under the plane and was wondering if that whole Bulkhead would need to be replaced or if there is a splice that can be added after the removal of the corrosion damage seems to be only affecting the rivet and about an inch or two of the bulkhead where the skin is attached. Has anyone else had similar issues? Does it help there is no drain hole in front of that bulkhead was wondering if there should be. I will try to post pic later today.

The information in AC43.13-1b Chapter 4 is approved data for your aircraft. If you can find information in there that applies directly to the repair, you're home free.
