Hi Ben !

Just a reminder - I hope you are fitting & drilling the FUS-30 doubler
(Ontario Mod. #1) at the same time ..... this will save grief with hole
alignment later - see pics in FILES ....

Bob's right on tight fitting - for the whole bulkhead, not just the
tabs ! If the flange is not making good contact all around, you
might be best to run a strip of ... say ... .032 .... all the way around
the inside of FUS-30, perhaps 1" wide, between it & the bulkhead,
so the web of the bulkhead is firmly connected to FUS-30.

Hi Ben: Sorry for the delay in a response but that sounds like a good plan.
The whole object in that area is to have good solid contact to minimize any
chance of parts working or moving around. The Rebel I am currently working
on, I was apparently sleeping when I did that area and for some reason did
not have that bulkhead sitting on the bottom when I started drilling the
flanges. I made up and shaped a 1/8 spacer to fill the gap. The tail spring
bolt will pull it all tight on assembly. This is the 3rd Rebel I am
assembling and the first I have had any problem (correction - challenges) in
that area. I also had to reshape the fingers slightly to get a good fit to
the sides. Sometimes not all goes as planned. Bob J Rebel 192/731

Subject: [rebel-builders] Tail-spring bulkhead ?

Hey all,
Last night I was working on fitting the tailspring bulkhead Fus-49 to
Fus-30. I get more gap than should be there on a couple of the lower
finger flanges left side of Fus-49 and the inside of Fus-30. I've nudged
the position of Fus-49 but don't want to play with that too much as MAM
calls out that 4 3/4" distance and it looks like it is supposed to be
parallel to the back fin post. I'm thinking of putting a shim (probably
032) spacer between those flange fingers that don't sit flush. This sound
reasonable?
