Brief Description:  Baggage Door

Page 8-71

The instructions call for Clecoing the F-873D-1 Baggage Door Inner Skin to the F-873B-1 Baggage Door Forward Rib and F-873C-1 Baggage
Door Aft Rib then Laying the baggage door in place on the fuselage and verify that it fits flush around its perimeter and securing the door in place on the fuselage using duct tape around the perimeter then climbing inside the fuselage and riveting the F-873D-1 Baggage Door Inner Skin to the F-873B-1 Baggage Door Forward Rib and F-873C-1 Baggage Door Aft Rib (See “Baggage Door Exploded View”, DWG 84) to lock the baggage door in its proper shape to match the fuselage.

Unfortunately I can't fit in there very easily so I layed a thin bead of acrylic epoxy along the rivet line on the F-873D-1 Baggage Door Inner Skin and clecoed the skin into place and then laid it into place on the fuselage according to the instructions. Once the epoxy sets the door should be sufficiently locked into place to remove it and complete the riveting.
