Brief Description:  Weldement mounting

Started mounting the gear weldements. I have been looking forward to this with hesitation since it seems that most everything has to be perfect for it to work. Just worked on the passenger side today. It became clear that the baggage floor needed to come out for ease of access although supposedly there is room for tiny hands to get behind without taking it out. So I drilled those rivets out and removed the baggage floor. Managed to get the 4 bolts in the gear channel in ok and fastened the nuts loosely. The rear SSO rail made it interesting on the forward holes. Then started working on the 4 vertical bolts on the forward part of the weldement. I'm glad I had the rivet heads from the SSO rail facing aft instead of the tails, but even so it was a tight fit. Ended up having to shave a corner off the nuts. I drilled that line along the extended solid rivet line on the side. Turns out I should have located the rivet line a few mm aft of the solid rivet line. The remainder of the bolts were easier to work on. All are now on, but not fully tightened.
