I'm fitting the F-782C fuel line cover in the forward fuselage with the fuel cover and the plates that go over the cover ribs.
After screwing the various covers to the F-704 center bulkhead, I'm aligning the F-782C fore and aft. The instructions say to mate the bottom of the F-782C with the bottom of the fuel valve cover (there's a flange there with nutplates).
When I get that aligned I still have a small gap -- looks to be about 1/8" on the bottom side corners between the F-782C and the cover plate.
I'm wondering whether other folks have that or whether I should just slide the F-782C flush with the cover plate? Right now, it appears the mating of the flange with the nutplateson the F-782C is fine with the bottom of the valve cover (in the center of the F-782C
