I am repairing a damaged hole in the T chord flange of trailing edge structure of the wing by freeze plugging. There is a fitting installed at the location and the hole (0.25 inch Diameter) goes through the T chord flange and fitting.
The damaged hole is in the flange of the T chord and the fitting hole is undamaged.
The hole is used to secure an aerodynamic panel using a screw.
To retain the freeze plug, I will be installing a strap.
I would like to know how to work out the thickness, material and length of the strap. The chord and the fitting are made of 7075-T6.
