* On the right side, the gusset needs to anyway sit further to the outside because of the vertical baggage bulkhead channel (F-1028). The gusset therefore overlaps the outside J-stiffener (F-1047) and you actually need to maximize the overlap to have proper edge distance for the rivet holes. It requires grinding off the gusset with the deburring wheel to accommodate the stiffener. The overlap can easily be marked after match drilling and bolt installment if the top skin is taken off. The rivet holes in the gusset need to be counter sunk as the stiffener is dimpled. | |||
* If you locate the left angle bracket 7.5 inches center to center apart from the right one, the bracket overlaps the center J-stiffener at a slanted angle which doesn't work as some rivet holes will have bad edge distances. A compromise is to overlap the center stiffener just a tiny bit at the front. The center to center distance is then 8 5/8 inches. It requires grinding a bit off the gusset with the deburring wheel to accommodate the stiffener. | |||

*The big round hole of the angle bracket that needs to be match-drilled into the top skin has the size of a 1.5 inch conduit (actual hole size: 1.951 inches). Very easy to do with a hydraulic punch, e.g. [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RT8RKQL at Amazon]. Suitable is also just a bare punch set that uses a bolt instead of hydraulics, e.g. [https://www.amazon.com/AMZCNC-Conduit-Knockout-Punch-Manual/dp/B0B5K9L2CW/ref=sr_1_6 at Amazon]. | *The big round hole of the angle bracket that needs to be match-drilled into the top skin has the size of a 1.5 inch conduit (actual hole size: 1.951 inches).

*The two larger 1/4 inch holes that need to be match drilled should be pre-drilled with a smaller diameter drill bit first using the 1/4 to 1/8 inch bushing which comes with the RV-10 kit. | *The two larger 1/4 inch holes that need to be match drilled should be pre-drilled with a smaller diameter drill bit first using the 1/4 to 1/8 inch bushing which comes with the RV-10 kit. | ||
*Note: If you place the angle, check where the angle potentially sits against clecos and isn't tucked in completely. | *Note: If you place the angle, check where the angle potentially sits against clecos and isn't tucked in completely. | ||
