Longeron rear notching

Can someone show me a picture of a finished longeron 711/712 tailcone bulkhead fitment? I am unsure of how the rearmost notch goes together with the rearmostbulkheads and i am about to cut the notch for the horizontal stabilizer supports tonight

i'm at work and don't have the plans in front of me but the mental image is driving me nuts (or lack thereof)
 
Pm me your cell number and I'll send u one right now with my phone. I'm at the hanger now so I can't upload a picture.

I'm not sure how much help this is, but here's a picture of the notch and also the end cutout on my longeron:

I don't have a picture of the longeron engaged in the bulkheads, but I think you can get the idea. The plans are very definite that you cut the notch in the longeron, NOT in the vertical stiffener bar!

Hope this helps! I have more discussion on my log page here, from March 27, 2009
