 |
|
I don't recall anyone mentioning a problem handling the baggage floor skin (XL). It's giving me fits! I can't get it in or out without bowing it and risking a bend. I've had it out three or four times already and I know there is more to come. I've decided to take some rather drastic action (which I have cleared with Caleb at ZAC) to make handling easier and less risky. First, I am going to cut the rear edge even with the front of the bulkhead and add an L angle to the face of the bulkhead to support it. Then, I am going to split it down the middle. I will have a 10 mm gap to facilitate smooth cuts to both edges. I will make an .025" connector, 50 mm wide to go on top of the split. I will probably go ahead and rivet the connector to one side so I don't have to mess with clecoing both sides every time. Anyone see any big problems with this?

I THINK YOU ARE OPENING A CAN OF WORMS. YOU WILL BE PUTTING IT IN AND OUT MANY MORE TIMES, BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS VERY LITTLE CHANCE YOU WILL BEND IT. JUST BE A LITTLE CAREFUL.
DO NOT ARCHIEVE.
