Brief Description:  Aft Fuselage - Drill & Prep 2 Shim

Turns out there is a gap under one rivet inbetween the side skin and the j-stiffener just forward of the 711 bulkhead. The gap is due to the step down from the tail cone to the side skin. So I made this little shim to fit in there and it will allow for a tight rivet without denting the skin.
