Ahhh, the dreaded two left sides.  Welcome to the sheet metal world.

You know that somewhere out there someone building a sheet metal plane has
built two entire left wings before they noticed.

Right now it's not, but when I build the next one it will be that way.  The
carb heat valve flapper is a nice tight fit, but swings freely.  The flapper
is stainless steel, so is heavy enough to always return to the closed
position with no other influence (it's supported on oil impregnated sintered
bronze bushings.  The way it is now, I could shut off both ram air and carb
heat air, and starve the engine for air, which would not be good.   I did a
web page for it this morning, so see
