I've been fussing with this long enough! It seems like on all the builders logs I look at, everyone just fits this bracket, drills some holes, and is off and running.
As usual, I can't seem to make my part fit. I'm trying to fit the tailwheel bracket between the last two bulkheads. Here's a pic from the top where the two bulkhead are tight up against the bracket...
Now, look at the alinement of the holes in the bottom skin and the bulkhead (NOTE: for this pic I slide the bulkhead to the side so you can see the holes in the skin.)
There's about a 1/8" difference in the holes in the bulkhead and the holes in the skin. I can't move the bulkhead back anymore because it is flush up against the tailwheel bracket.
The most frustrating part of this is that I'm assuming the skin, the bulkhead, and the bracket are made in a jig at Vans. So everyone's should be the same right? Why on Earth does mine not fit then?? The bracket seems to be too long to fit between the bulkheads.
I'm out of ideas. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm looking for ideas!
Thanks
