As DJ states, the Andair gascolator does collect water, thus the reason us
Canadian builders are required to install it. Having said that type
certified aircraft also have them in Canada. Are they required on TC
aircraft in the US?

I have looked through the plans from the point where the door halves are
glassed together(Chap 45-50), trying to find when you are supposed to put
in the rivets that were left out to be able to cleco the door halves in
place during bonding. I have not found one mention. Obviously they also
were not prepared anywhere in the plans for flush rivets, so it seems that
countersinking is the only choice at this point. While I don't expect the
later chapters to discuss deburring etc, I also don't expect to have them
leaving more than a dozen rivet holes empty on each side of the completed
fuselage.
