Hi,
I'm a bit confused as to assembling the rear tunnel Z. Mainly the top of it, and getting the seat in. Per SNX-F11 the 3 outer rivets will be solid rivets, correct? Also I will need to countersink them from the inside of the tunnel? If that's the case, how am I going to pound them in? I just don't see how that's going to work. There is nothing to hold a bucking bar against the bottom for leverage. Will I have to suspend the fuse on a bar of some sort and use that as the weight?
Also, I'm trying to get the seat in. I see that the front line of rivets holding down the piano hinge are just standard rivets, not countersunk, is this also correct?
Lastly, my understanding is that the rear Z is not riveted at this point, that's apparently so incase I need to make the ever so slightest adjustment when mounting the wings, is this also correct? And is that rear top line of rivets on the rear Z countersunk? I didn't see that as being the case. So, other that the 6 rivets, that I have no idea how to buck in place, that line of rivets in between are just pulled from the top at some point? Being when?
I don't see how I can mount the seat without any support from the rear Z, looks lie it may bow the front if I sit in it to mount the tank before everything is buttoned up.
Scratch building, if it makes any difference in the process.
Thanks
