Has anyone had good results in dealing with the large gaps between the 702 skin and the aft corners of the WD-716 frame? The gaps at the corners along the 3/8 OD tube are roughly 1/8" or greater from the skin.
I looking at a few possible options:
#1. Fill the holes in the skin with the largest gaps with rivets and skip trying to tie these holes to the frame. A few of the holes I could see adding some shims.
#2. Bend the corners of the WD-716 weldment to match the skin. The areas to be bent are located near where the tube connects to the side plates/ rails. Bending these to fit will require some custom form blocks to ensure the tubing is not damaged in the process.
Any thoughts are appeciated,
