Modified Lap Joint
NOTE: Parts shown for example purposes only. Emphasis is on joint design and proper plug weld
placement.
The repair joint is a combination lap-joint (1) and butt-
joints (2) – the panels are lapped in the flat areas
and butted in contoured locations and at weld flanges.
The graphic better illustrates this process.
