Not good. All the rear loads will be through the bulkhead plates now. There'll be a loss of longitudinal torsional stiffness which you'll feel. Best to fix it asap. Not with the original bobbins because they don't work well in shear. Do the repair with plates sandwiching the fiberglass. Quote DanR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
