 |

I’m looking at the instructions for fitting the rear baggage bay bulkhead XSF02A and am a bit confused about how it relates to the baggage well that is part of the cockpit module.
Page 28M-13 of the manual says
"The front flange of the bulkhead fits over the rear of the cockpit module"
which indicates to me that the flange of XSF02A lies _forward_ of the wall of the baggage well.
However, page 28M-14 says
"Drill and cleco the bulkhead front flange onto the rear face of the cockpit module”
which sounds as if the flange of XSF02A lies _aft_ of the wall of the baggage well.
The first option seems much more sensible and I think the second quote should read something like:
"Drill and cleco the bulkhead front flange onto the front face of the rear wall of the cockpit module”
But, as usual, I feel the need for confirmation from others that I am reading the manual aright here.
Is your aft baggage bulkhead flange (a) forward or (b) aft of the wall of the baggage well that is part of the cockpit module?

Hi Rowland. I have a classic and am doing the extended baggage bay mod. After cutting the original short baggage bay off, the new one asks you to cut a section out of the lip which fits over the centre tunnel part of the cockpit module thus making the lip of the new style baggage bay fit over the cockpit module. Hope this makes sense.

Hi Rowland, I did my baggage bay as mod 47, modifying my original classic baggage bay. I certainly did it as per your first method, the front flange of the bulkhead sitting in front of and bonding to the cockpit module's rear edge. It worked perfectly for me and the bulkhead sits nicely on the rear edge of the cockpit module.
In fact, the mod 47 instructions quote; "The first job is to cut away the centre of the bulkhead front flange so that it matches the tunnel of the cockpit module". This is so that the bulkhead front edge fits nicely over the tunnel. If the front edge of the bulkhead was to go behind the cockpit module's rear edge you wouldn't need to do that trimming because the tunnel does not extend back behind the cockpit module.
Cheers, Jon

Hi Rowland,
The most fwd lip of the baggage bay extension, its aft face bonds to the fwd face of the most aft vertical(?) face of the cockpit module. It isnt a good fit, or certainly on mine, but both are moulded so I think you will wxperience the same. There is quite a gap at the inboard portion of the lip/CM vert face, and its hard to pull in the gap with clecos. I think the redux will have to be padded out with flox, and the gap filled, then taped over. I am away from home so cant check my manual but I believe tapes on the way back will be required too, so the loads are equally distributed. That job will be a bitch to get to, and it possibly isnt required in the manual, but then only one face of the sandwich construction of the rear vertical face if the CM will be taking the loads, albeit there probably isnt too much in the way of loads at that point. I have my top off, so I was able to pre tape the underside and aft face of the vert face of the baggage bay, and the flat part, so that now I can redux it in place on the flanges. If your top is off, I'd suggest you do the same,
As after
The fact, through the D section will be a really fun job. I take my hat off to those guys that did this mod with the top on. I daresay all that crawling around lead to many expletives.

Jon, Tony - thanks for your confirmation of my gut feeling about what was correct.
