I'm just preparing to drill the hinge blocks to the short ribs(f 644). When I cleco on the top skin with the blocks in place it is tight and hard to line up the short ribs to insert the clecos.
It looks like it's going to be very tough to push the goose necks between the hinge blocks as the space is only about 3/16ths.
Do I press on and sand down the blocks later or what?
Just found out the 617 blocks are over size - 13/16ths. Next question is, has anyone had success sanding down UHMW ? The blocks are too small to plane.
