When does the F-712E aft Tie Down Bar get installed? It seems logical to install it before riveting F-712 Bulkhead in place but I'm not sure. I started to install it and messed up but still would like to know when it should be installed.
On a side note, check the plans. The tie down is not flush with the skin. The bottom of the tie down is 7/16" below the bottom cut out of the F-712 Bulkhead. I missed that. Apparently there is space for a locknut.
I'm moving at a glacial pace trying not to make mistakes and still messed up.
More scrap parts and another day or two getting the replacement F-712 bulkhead to fit.
