I talked to Tom Green who sent me a new part but he said that it would not be much better. He was right, it isn't. This part fits on top of the fuselage, behind the slider canopy and is shown on Drawing 41. It is called the "dog house". Has anyone had good luck at making a new one or straightening out the old part?

I don't want to be obtuse but I cant for the life of me figure out the junction of the above parts. DWG 39 & 40. Are the 3/32 skin rivets meant to go through the skin / bulkhead flange, F732B bracket and F632A channel? If YES - then the rivet callout is wrong, and it is not indicated this way on the plans. If NO - then there is nowhere for the shopheads to go. They will have to go at least through the F732B. Also, a related question. How far from the bulkhead is the rear edge of the the F632A channel? It appears about 3/16th or " on view D-D Dwg40, but I can not find it defined. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 01:03:44 PM PST US From: "Roy Taylor" Subject: RV9-List: Slider canopy paint --> RV9-List message posted by: "Roy Taylor" Thanks Dave, Roy ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:23:10 PM PST US From: "Gary" Subject: Re: RV9-List: F774skin / F732B bracket / F632A channel - tipper builders only. --> RV9-List message posted by: "Gary" Steve......this is one of the things I tried to explain in that long email about Tip-up stuff. It is hard to describe until you start putting the stuff together. I think the best solution is like you say.....use long rivets through the whole works. The drawings do not acknowlege the problem, so don't try to follow them on that point. Also, I long ago stopped paying much attention to rivet length callouts. I use my homemade length gage instead. My rollover brace channel F-732A just fits up against the bulkhead at the top. I don't think it matters if you want to leave a little gap.

Am I getting this straight? Van's sent you a defective or damaged part with your kit. You called and spoke to Tom about the problem. Tom told you he would send a replacement part, but forewarned you that the replacement part would also be damaged or defective?? What am I missing here?
