August 25, 2006 - Prepping the Cabin Frame |
||||||
| I disassembled the cabin frame and deburred all the holes. The aft channels needed edge-smoothing so I did that. I also had to trim the ends of the two strips. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
Whoops. Forgot to countersink the center strap holes on the
forward channels. Don't have to countersink the aft Channel; it
gets universal rivets for some reason.

I drilled the angle to the aft channels, using them as a template.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| I clecoed the cabin frame back together and measured the horizontal and vertical widths. The horizontal width was slightly less than what it should be but I think it's close enough. I had chopped 3/16" off each channel middle. The vertical width is also just a bit short, but not enough to be a problem. I had not trimmed the channel bottoms. | ||||||
