Brief Description: Drilling the Hinge Brackets 1

I'm ready to drill the holes thru the hinge brackets. This is the step that sets the basic position of this frame so I want it right. I placed the frame with skin in position. I clamped it. But it lay in position without clamping. The clamps are just to hold it while drilling. I saw on the drawings that the hinge tops are down below the skin, so I pushed mine down. ** Later you'll see I maybe should NOT have been so aggressive at pushing these down * I put the 0.020 spacers in place.

Clamped in position

Pushed hinges down

Used the spacers
