* Step 4: Rivet the F-1042E-L/R brackets to F-01042-L/R before clecoing the F-1040 side channels. It is easier setting these rivets now than after the side channels are installed. | |||
* Step 5: The most forward rivet on the bottom part of the lower firewall bracket is hard to reach. Some trim the top flange of the bracket to allow for using an offset rivet set, others use a large 16" Knipex pair of pliers with a makeshift die for the manufactured head.

* Step 1: Before riveting the F-1013-R longeron to the F-1070-R side skin, cleco the tailcone bulkhead to the F-1070-L/R side skins and verify the F-1013-R is not interfering (i.e., too long) with the F-1006-C bulkhead placement. In my case I needed to trim about 1/16" of the end of the longeron to allow the bulkhead holes to line up with the skin holes. Much easier to do this when you can pull the longeron away from the skin to do the trimming. | |||
* Some of the holes around the door opening are left open. You will cleco the door to the frame using those in order to 1) get the correct position of the door within the insert and 2) lock in the airframe shape into the door when bonding the door shells together. These blanks allow you a place to insert the clecos to hold it. Once the doors are bonded and door install complete, you then rivet those remaining.

* Assuming you are not considering installing wiring under the rear floors (you shouldn't), you might consider installing the rear floor pans now before the side skins are installed, while it is easier to get access. See page 35-2. | * Assuming you are not considering installing wiring under the rear floors (you shouldn't), you might consider installing the rear floor pans now before the side skins are installed, while it is easier to get access.
