Hello, I need some advise on something I am confused about tonight. Also sent note off to Van's as well.
I am completing Upper Fuselage Section 29A Page 5. (Using version 10/26/11, revision 0)
Panel Base F-1202B does not have rivet holes punched out in center aft flange that match the Figure 3 picture. I am unable to rivet the 6 nutplates that the plans call for. There are 6 #40 sized holes in this area instead of nutplate holes. Unclear to me how the F-00023 Center Inst. Panel will eventually be attached to the Panel Base as the plans call for screws to hold it in place. Please see pictures.
1) Do I have the correct plans for this section? I suspect I may not, but these came with the fuse kit delivered in March.
2) Otherwise, am I supposed to try and match drill the nutplates for the Inst. Panel OR is the Inst. Panel Riveted to the Panel Base instead of screw/nutplate held in place?
See #40 holes rather than predrilled nutplate holes
Center Inst. Panel has holes that appear to need screws to attach to panel base
Appreciate any feedback especially from anyone who faced the same issue recently. Thanks,
