That was in March and the stuff is still leaking from every drain hole and seam there is (we might have use a little too much of the stuff, but I'd recommend to everyone to go ahead and spray some corrosion proofing while you've got wings and inspection plates off.   From: David Perozek To: Coupe Flyin Sent: Friday, May 09, 2003 9:12 AM Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] Wing Bolt Torque ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- We took the wings off 18V, put them back.  As was suggested, it was an easy process – found the usual inside, anyway, it looked really good.  I don’t have the torque specs for the bolts though.  I know it’s not high, but if someone has the recommended number, would appreciate.
