| Subject: | RV-8 Baggage Door Ribs |
Has anyone else encountered a problem with the forward (right side)
baggage door rib - F-873B- being too short to capture the last hole in
the pre-punched outside door skin? I plan to plug the hole with a
rivet, but it won't catch the rib at all. I started from the other end
of the door that meets the fuselage skin and clamped, drilled and
clecoed the skin to the two ribs, but was somewhat dismayed that the
right rib even looked short and didn't capture the last rivet hole.
Perhaps I'll see that it doesn't matter once I get everything else on
the door fitted and drilled. I'm not sure a photo will show up on the
list digest, but I'm attaching one anyway.

Where does the other end line up? I just checked mine and the top
rivet doesn't go into that rib, but instead into some angle that is
also riveted to the hinge.
