So Bill, do you remember if the holes in the VS and HS that bolt
together were pre-punched?

Michael,
I have a dash1 fuselage and the fit was the same as yours. I was able
to trim the bottom of the vertical for clearance and still have
enough edge distance.

Hi all,
I am building an RV 8 and have one of the first pre-punch fuselages.
Please reference drawing 78 if you want to see the spot. I put the HS
on and
bolted it in place. I then put the rudder on but found the forward end
of the rudder hit the rear fuselage top skin.
I thought I had fit all this together before, but think maybe I had
never really bolted the HS down. I double checked and think I have all
the appropriate spacers (just one 1/8th inch spacer on each side under
the HS and on top of the deck.
I started filing down the nose of the VS to get it to fit. It needs
about
3/8 of an inch to fit without touching the rear top fuselage skin. I
took off all the skin in front of the bottom rib but will need about
3/16 off that. I think that the minimum rivet to edge distance will be
okay, but wondered if I have done something wrong. It doesn't seem
right, somehow. I thought I would see if anyone else has had this
issue before I file off something that I should not be removing.
Thoughts?

Hi Brian,
Yes, there are drilled. My vague memory is that I leveled the HS on
the
fuselage but that the holes on the VS spar were pre-punched. In any
event,
there is insufficient room to redrill them and have adequate edge
spacing.

Had you already drilled the holes for mounting? I put mine on too low
(with the rear top skin not on the plane) and so had the move it up and
re-drill (replacing the bars it bolts into).

I sent an email to Van's. Here is what they said:
Michael, This is not uncommon. There's not much for lateral loads on
the
rivets of that lower
nose rib so don't worry too much about edge distance in that area. As
long as you've got a
little 'meat' left and not actually filing on the rivet, it should be
fine.
Scott at Van's
Looks like this is a typical problem. Guess I will just trim a little
more.
Thanks, everybody.
