Today I started reassembly of the fuselage after parts prep. When I attached the lower left longeron to the firewall I had a gap between the firewall mount and the longeron.
I fabricated a spacer and assembled with AN-6A bolts instead of 5A to accomodate for the spacer. I still have clearance to the bottom skin, but need to know if this fix is OK. I can replace the lower longeron since it is not riveted to anything yet, but wanted to get additional opinions. I will call Van's on Monday if need be. Please let me know what you think
thanks
