Default F-710/F-779/F-786C

Hi All, I am currently fitting up my aft fuse and experiencing the insanity of how tight and difficult everything is. I just about to start drilling and I have a question with how the lowest J-stiffener F-786C mats to the assembly.

If I have the nesting of the parts correct (F-710 bulkhead sits above F-779 bottom tail skin, which sits on top of F-778 bottom aft skin and the F-773 side skins). There is then a 0.040" gap where the lowest J-stiffener transitions from the F-773 side skin, to the F-779 bottom tail skin.

My question is do I just drill and rivet the J-stiffener leaving a small ripple at that location? Or did anyone put a joggle in the j-stiffner?

Default Stiffeners

No joggle. Once it's riveted, the assemboy is solid.
