C140 metalized wing questions

Post by rapple »

Hi,
My wings on my. 1947 C140 were metalized decades ago. We have discovered that there was quite a bit of mouse debris in the wings. We were surprised to see that there are no inspection covers to access the inside of the wings. We have been able to remove the bulk of the debris. We are thinking if we could get into the wing, we could wash the bad areas and coat with corrosion inhibiter Has anyone ever installed inspection holes and covers? Is it possible or recommended?

Thanks
