Brief Description: left skirt drilling 3 and adjusting
1. With L. skirt off, I drilled the marked holes where the temp rivits are in the canopy. These could not be drilled while clecoed on frame. 2. Counter sunk the holes along the top tube on skirt. 3.Clecoed skirt back on and using my template and hand made hole finder, match drilled the last two holes. 4. Reviewed the holes drilled along the top tube and marked the ones that didnt line up very well-about 9 of them. This happened due to the intersecting lines were not spot on unfortunately. Removed the skirt and decided to try drilling the holes slightly larger and re countersinking(just the 9 bad holes). This worked somewhat but at least one hole will probably need to be glasses in and redone. Not real happy with the fit job on this side but I will hopefuly be able to get it to a good fit if I keep trying and stay patient. 5. Moved to the right side and double checked all the intersecting lines drawn for those holes and made necessary adjustments. Hopefully this will work out better on this side. 6. Final drilled all the bottom tube and rib locations to #30 and then counter sunk 7. Started to try fitting the right side on and have it line up with the aft left side over the rail. Oh boy! not easy and too dang hot. Try later.
Here is the angled tube I refered to and the top two holes were drilled
Example of some miss drilled holes. See the center of the temp rivit stem?
Drilled up all the bottom and rib holes to #30 and CS
