Lower longerons

Does anyone have a close up of both the forward and aft ends of the lower longeron where they meet the gusset/firewall and then the center section? I've studied the plans and they're really not very good showing this area.

Thanks
 
I don't think I have a pic of it, but basically, it butts up against the F-704 and I have it going all the way forward (as far as it'd go) against the firewall bracket.

I had to file it a bit, so file carefully and make sure it butts up against the 704. Don't forget to twist it a bit, per plans.
 
OK, that helps. I couldn't really see whether the aft end sits flush against the 704 or fits outside, and needed to doublecheck that the trimmed portion goes on the aft side. Thanks, folks.
