Hiya Folks,
I'm working on the final steps before riveting the center/forward fuselage together, and I need to drill the outboard seat ribs to the side skin (the outboard seat rib is not prepunched).
But, when I go to do that, there is a significant bow in the side skin that keeps it from running along the outboard seat rib. Check the photo:
If I uncleco it from the 705 seat-back bulkhead, it'll sit flat against the outboard rib but then the prepunched holes on the 705 and the skin are off by about half a hole diameter.
Anyone else run into this?
I could redrill the 705 holes, but they wouldn't be cleanly away from the original holes (in many cases, the new hole would start at the edge of the original hole).
Any advice or ideas what might be going on?
Thanks!
