Well, despite my best efforts and a crapload of clamps and whatnot, my cabin frame (7A) managed to shrink up just a touch. It's about 1/8" too narrow per the plans. I can think of two options: center it, mark the locations of the 631 channels that bolt to the fuse, and then drill them accordingly, or drill the 631s per the plans and try to stretch or elongate the frame itself. First option seems most reasonable, but I think I'll need to add a shim on each side to make up the 1/16" gap at the forward end of the 631 (otherwise the skin will have a "joggle" in it).
Anyone see any issues with that viz-a-viz the canopy or the canopy frame? I'm going to be Sikaflexing the canopy and rear window...
