* | * In the above linked threads, references to "Page 28-16: Both sets of F-1057 L/R Mid-Seat Rail Supports" are outdated as newer fuselages no longer have this part. That page number is now blank on newer instructions. | ||
* "Page 27-2: If going with a Lycoming engine, the three holes in the recess need to be widened to 5/8 inch with a Unibit". If you plan to use spherical firewall fittings for the cables, be aware that the pilot holes won't provide enough distance for those. If you have an engine with electronic injection, you don't need the rightmost hole as there is no mixture. Dimple (male dimple die goes in rivet gun, see tools above; on backside, use self made bucking bar with machine countersunk 3/32 hole) and close with 3/32 rivet. | * "Page 27-2: If going with a Lycoming engine, the three holes in the recess need to be widened to 5/8 inch with a Unibit".

* Page 29-9, step 5: Both longerons were too long (the left one will interfere with the vertical post of the baggage door, the right one will interfere with tailcone bulkhead). Mark the correct length from the last rivet, jam a piece of robust steel sheet metal between the longeron and the skin and cut the longeron with a dremel "thin cut" metal disk. | * Page 29-9, step 5: Both longerons were too long (the left one will interfere with the vertical post of the baggage door, the right one will interfere with tailcone bulkhead).
