Having placed the 1 1/2" dia. holes in these location I am able to put the WD-657 weldment into place with the F-6125 UHMW block in it's designated location. The photographs included in the instructions show the 1 1/2" dia. holes above the floor of the fuselage, which is exactly what my arrangement looks like. Now my question is: What is meant by the statement on the right side view "Mount so the bottom of the torque tube sits flush against the F-623 web". My torque tube is pressing down onto the upright side of F-623. I will have to inlarge the cutouts on F-623 and F-625 to get the flange that is riveted to the skin flat with the skin. The flange sits at an angle to the skin that can be changed if the holes are inlarged (Read that wallowed out). Before I drill the UHMW block and torque tube and F-626 I wanted to be sure I was on track. Everything looks good, but the comment on the drawing of the right side view made me question what I am seeing. Any and all comments would be appreciated.
