Hey all - I am new to forum and I have been hesitant to post as I have been
able to find most of answers by looking at past posts or talking to my EAA
tech counselor, but I haven't found a good answer yet to my latest concern.
The build has gone great, but the cabin top has given my some problems. I
spent a lot of time getting it to fit and now that finally got it to slide
into place I have a gap problem - see pics. I assume I can add resin with
some filler to fill in gap and re-sand to fit, but my concern is that I
have a tight fit already and I think is has somewhat do with head of
universal rivets in door opening of fuselage, but then again I see other
builders with a better fit. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Matt

We usually lay in a fairly healthy head of medium thickness flox before sett
ing in the cabin top so it fills any voids like that. After we tighten all t
he screws we make sure to remove any excess before it cures. A tight and cle
an trim is the best way to achieve a good fit, but the flox helps in areas t
hat don't fit as well.

I do not recall the fiberglass resting on any AN470 heads.
