i just spoke with tech support and they said since the deluxe caps are machines i shouldnt have to do any of the bending, but make sure prior to riveting
This must be a new thing. The flanges on mine most certainly DID NOT fit the curvature of the 10 wing skin. I had to mill it down to get it precise. Should have waited!
I've read this on several build logs, and this is why I have the standard standing by with my wing kit. I'll have to relook the delux, I guess.
For info, the deluxe caps from VANS are the Newton units, not Andair - at least they were a few years ago........

The Newton caps that I got from Van's (shipped last March, 2016) do NOT fit the fuel tank skin curve either. Looks like about 1/16" to 3/32" off of the curve on the front and back edges. Will need to do some sanding/machining to make them fit.
