While assembling the HS on my 14 today I realized that in order for an inspector to see every shop head, I would need to willfully ignore the practice of putting the manufactured head on the thinner material. More specifically, where the ribs are riveted to the forward spar. To see the shop head once the skin is applied, the rivets will need to be reversed.
As I'm writing this, I'm realizing that an inspector will not be able to see the rivets that attach the skin to the nose ribs once the forward spar is installed. Are two inspections required, one before and one after installing the spar/rib assembly?
Thanks
