I have a series of 3 pics to share that show the assembly of my forward spar halves to the HS810 and HS814 support angles. I used my pneumatic squeezer to dimple the holes in the flange of the forward spar per the plans, and I counter sunk the angles per the plans as well. I am concerned about the less than desireable fit that I am seeing between the HS 810 angle and the forward spar flange when I cleco everything together. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, or do I need to do something to correct this obvious bulging problem before I prime and start riveting everything together?
I have already tried countersinking the angle just a small bit more to try to allow the dimple to seat better, but its not quite working out the way that I want it to, and I am afraid to drill out any more material from the angles. Any info is appreciated.
Pic 1 - Assembled
PIc 2 - Close up with the clamps squeezing things together
Pic 3 - Clamps off - only the clecos are holding the assembly, and gap is noticably larger..
