My F-1012B was not pre-punched for the skin either. I just match
drilled as you have noted. No tears in my F-1010. Kit # 40559

During initial assembly of tailcone, I noticed that F-1012B was not

punched. It will be very easy to match drill the bulkhead using the
skin punches and relying on the A bulkhead for alignment. But I am
curious whether others have encountered the same thing.
I also noticed a very small tear in the thin flange around the
central hole in bulkhead F-1010. It appears to have resulted from
the forming of the flange. It would seem to be subject to enlarging
if the area is stressed. Would a stop hole be called for? Or
grinding the tear out? Or a new part? I will be going to Vans with
this.
