Mid fuse longeron edge distance question

Well Known Member
So I tried searching and recall others having similar problem.

So the mid fuse longeron needs to be match drilled to the gusset with a #30. I have not drilled mine yet but it appears edge distance is going to be an issue. Have others had issues and how did you solve or just build on with minimal edge distance?

Wanted to match drill this weekend.

Am I correct in stating that edge distance should be 1/4"? it looks like I will only get 3/16 edge distance.

Thoughts?
 
I'm not sue exactly what spot you are referring to, but assume it is page 29-7 F1034E, seat back brace, step 1. Pics would help.

I do not recall any problems getting edge distance anywhere except in the engine mount braces (the weldment angle was off, and took some friendly clamping and pulling to get them in position).
