Brief Description: Forward Deck Ribs and Subpanel Assembled
The first and second pictures show the fully assembled center rib with all the reinforcing plates and angles. If you are a builder, don't follow the instructions which tell you to rivet the F-7108B angle to the center rib and then try twist the F-7105A subpanel and rib through the center of the the subpanel. It doesn't work. Instead, wait to rivet the F-108B angle (picture 1) onto the center rib after you've carefully maneuvered the rib onto the cut grooves. This is all I plan to do in the front deck assembly before my wife and I take a 2-week vacation to visit our daughter on the Oregon coast.
