Later in the build process (Section 28, page 28-12, Figure 2) you will need to have 7x double-flush rivets on each side of the forward main spar. That requires you to machine countersink the top/inside of the bottom flange for those 14 holes. The outermost holes on each side are very hard to properly countersink after you have attached the F-01004C center section bulkheads. | Later in the build process (Section 28, page 28-12, Figure 2) you will need to have 7x double-flush rivets on each side of the forward main spar.

So, while you are on this step, I recommend machine countersinking on the top side of the bottom flange (you'll CSK all of the holes in the bottom flange later as part of the normal instructions but they'll be deeper than normal due to the thickness of the bottom skin). I countersunk the top holes approximately the same size as I would do for a normal countersunk rivet factory head. | So, while you are on this step, I recommend machine countersinking on the top side of the bottom flange (you'll CSK all of the holes in the bottom flange later as part of the normal instructions but they'll be deeper than normal due to the thickness of the bottom skin).

* Enlarge the two holes at the lower corners of F-1034A to a bit larger than .75 inches (.77) so they can pass through Van's conduit later | * Enlarge the two holes at the lower corners of F-1034A to a bit larger than .75 inches (.77) so they can pass through Van's conduit later | ||
