Brief Description:  F-821 Forward Top Skin

I got the Baggage Door Support Strips located in place and will hold in place with keeper rivets. The important thing is to place the keeper rivets where they will not interfere with the rivet locations of the pre-punched holes of the Forward Top Skin.

To assure this I made a template out of some stiff paper that I have from the house painting projects. It has a nice straight factory edge so I could overlay it on the top skin and mark the hole locations for the two bulkheads and then mark the baggage door supports in order to avoid the interference with the keeper rivets.

After marking the baggage door supports with the template I marked the location for the keeper rivets, then drilled, deburred, dimpled and riveted them in place. Now I am ready to locate and install the forward top skin.
