Bulkhead Pass Thru Tubes


Finished glassing inthe bulkhead pass they tubes. These are mount pretty strong. So much so that I worry they could break if something puts lateral pressure on them. I may fabricate a cover plate to protect them. I still have a little clean up work to sand down globs of epoxy and random fibers on the tubes, ANSI want tone sure the other side is sealed better do water can't in between the layers and cause freeze damage.  I will be filling some voids and giving the aft side a extra layer of lay up.  The other side also needs a board above it to protect the tubes. After this I can start tabbing in the upper bulkhead fitting.
