 |
|
Has anyone else encountered a problem with the forward (right side) baggage door rib - F-873B- being too short to capture the last hole in the pre-punched outside door skin? I plan to plug the hole with a rivet, but it won't catch the rib at all. I started from the other end of the door that meets the fuselage skin and clamped, drilled and clecoed the skin to the two ribs, but was somewhat dismayed that the right rib even looked short and didn't capture the last rivet hole. Perhaps I'll see that it doesn't matter once I get everything else on the door fitted and drilled. I'm not sure a photo will show up on the list digest, but I'm attaching one anyway.

Where does the other end line up? I just checked mine and the top

rivet doesn't go into that rib, but instead into some angle that is
also riveted to the hinge.

Hi Ken
I am quite sure there were no excess holes in the door. I built it twice, having fouled up the first try--couldn't get it to settle in the right position to seal properly. I would suggest a careful review of how the door is assembled. I would bet dimes to doughnuts that you either have a piece missing or something mis-aligned.
Regards,
