tdskip Silver Member Yoda Registered: 11/29/05 Posts: 5605 Loc: Southern California	See..... The top and inner sill are the best reference points so the plan is the get the skunked bulkhead out, new one back in along with the new inner sill and the work the rest of the metal back around those...

Don Elliott Luke Skywalker Registered: 12/13/04 Posts: 1855 Loc: Montreal, Canada	Maybe you mean a power file. It's like a belt sander, but the belt is only 1/2" wide or 3/4" wide depending on the type. Once you hold it in your hands, you think you're holding a small machine-gun. My first one was an electric powered Black & Decker that I bought in their shop in Slough, England. The one I use now is the larger type and is driven by compressed air. See photo of me in 1987 or '88 using the B & D. Check out Harbor Freight. Attachments Edited by Don Elliott (08/27/09 06:43 PM)

Jon80spit Member Registered: 03/11/06 Posts: 29 Loc: Miami,Florida	Get a scotch brite type disk for your angle die grinder or 4" grinder. Works great to remove paint and rust.
