Brief Description: Template and hole finder

Yesterday while match drilling the left skirt on, the 6 inch hole finder i have wiil not reach the upper 3 rivit holes in the angle tube on frame ( see photo). The bottom 2 were reached ok and were drilled. Those will be used on the template to line up the other 3 when clecoed on. I drilled the other 3 holes in the template using hole finder. This might be all that I need to do but if not, I made a 13 inch hole finder that sholuld work just fine. I rivited two pieces of scrap aluminum together and inserted a dash 3 rivit on the other end as the hole finder. I only lightly squeezed it enough to stay in place and then had to file slightly around it to bring the diameter down enough to fit in the holes. Crude but functional-I hope!

Template for left side-1st two are done and will line up others
