The plans very on the size of the whole for steps in the skin and ribs. On one it says 1 1/2" on the other it says 1 5/16. I went with 1 1/2 in the baggage rib and it fits in perfectly. But there's no way to get the exertnal flange to fit on against the side skin because the weld bead (I have no idea what you call it) makes the whole thing like a rivet.
So drilled it to 1 3/4" which now makes it fit flush. However, the hole extends below the external flange (which is fairlyflush with the weldment), there's really no way as near as I can tell to get the unti to fit flush against the side skins without having an oversized hole.
Is there?
