Dear Listers,
I just noticed that the exhaust ramp only has a couple of temporary rivets installed from the QB process. I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't rivet this already?? I hesitate to rivet it if there is something I'm suppose to do before it gets riveted on...? The aft side isn't riveted yet either and it looks like the only way this is going to be rivetable is with pop rivets. Is that true?
Here are a couple of pictures of what I'm talking about.

Hi Matt,
I am a slow builder, so I am not sure I can answer this correctly. In the slow build, the ramp is riveted on before the side pieces, so it is regular bucked rivets. From the picture, I cannot tell if the platenuts for the pedals are installed. Also, several people have talked about vibration of the exhaust ramp. I ended up stuffing the area tightly with closed cell foam to reduced that tendency. Others have used expanding foam. Perhaps a QBuilder can answer this better?
Regards,
