Good day Guys.
I have a question regarding the firewall on a RV7. The plans say to draw a c/l on the bottom flange of the aluminum angle and to line that up with the second row of holes in the bottom skin. Done that, now it says to adjust the firewall so that the forward flange of the firewall is 5/8 inch aft of the side skins. Done that too. But when I measure the forward flange of the firewall to the BOTTOM skin ,it is slightly more than 5/8 inch, about 1/16 of an inch more aft. Is this normal ? Or should the bottom of firewall be 5/8 of an inch aft of the bottom skin. If I do that the c/l do not line up with the second row of holes any more.
