[f-AA] Wing questions

[Cy Galley]

I believe I bought my 7-439 change order "O" from John Houser. It was in 
terrible shape and as with the rest of my collection I scanned it in with my 
39" scanner and then spent at least the next two weeks cleaning, and 
restoring.  I check illegible areas by long distance phone with Bill 
Pancake, my Service manual, parts price list and the related parts drawings.

1-2327 is wedge nailed on the top of the front spar with the big end up 
against the tip rib. One per wing, 2 per ship.

Thanks Cy, my 7-439 came from Safe Air, yeah about 8 ft long. Doesn't
have section I-I though. Looks like there are a few versions. Also the
leading edge stiffener is referred to as P/N 1-10000 but is 5-173L and
5-174R in the Chief manual.
Oh well, variety adds spice to life, doesn't it.
Also the 1-2327 filler on the tip end of the spar, it says 2 off. Is
that one on the main spar and one on the rear spar? What do they do?
Will have to make some up. Do you have a drawing of these?
