General Questions now that I am laying out the jig for the fuse side:
1. At station 48 the Aircraft Spruce updated plans indicate heat and bend on the
top longeron.... Is this true/necessary?
2. Are there any other bends that need heat? such as the top longeron at station
163?
3. On the JC Mods there are two 1/2" tubes that don't have location dimensions
under the door opening... the horizontal and the diagonal tubes. I bisected
the distance on the tube that they intersect and don't believe this to be critical
but don't want to cause a problem downstream so any help on this would be
appreciated.
4. What is the preferred material for the door posts? Plans indicate 3/4 round
or 5/8 Square

At station 48, heat the tube and bend. It is best to heat the bottom and
sides so the slight buckle will be inside the cluster. Same at station 163,
heat the cluster side.
The rear door post intersect is the same as the front door post or close.
Round or square, you choice. I use round because I have it, If I used square
I would use 3/4".
Jim

Jim, Thanks for the quick response. I actually have the 5/8 square and was wondering
if the flat surface helped on the mating of the door or not..... one of
those builder choices.
