Brief Description:  Seat Ribs & Floors Riveted Backwards

One of those nights when everything was going along so smoothly and then it happened. I realized that everything I riveted together was done in the opposite orientation to where it was suppose to be done!

Spencer helped me rivet the hinges to the seat floor skins. We then thought we were correctly riveting together the ribs and skins. But, after all was done, and I began to read ahead in the plans for the next several pages, I realized that the left and right assemblies were in fact reversed. Could not believe it.

Will have to drill out all the L3-4 and a few CS4-4 rivets tomorrow including about 10 nutplates and reverse the whole setup. I could kick myself for not picking this up sooner. Everything seemed to fit together so perfectly, but thats no excuse.

So, tomorrow my main job is to fix what I messed up tonight. What a downer, but at least its fixable.
