The Murphy Builders Site

Hi all, couple questions...
1. Is my memory right that some have put the engine reinforcement gussets
on the inside instead of outside? Any problems putting it on the inside?
Picture for reference (Bruce G) with the gussets on the outside:

2. Here's the bigger thing bugging me... I cannot find in MAM where it
says to drill and rivet the side Fus-11s and door post braces (Fus-9s) to
the cage uprights (Fus-4). I've not done the Fus-11 witches hats or engine
mount fittings yet, but have gotten firewall, top corner wraps, dashboard
all cleco'd in. BTW, yes, I'll do the double row up the post and 3/16
rivets up top.

Thanks,
-Ben/ 496R

I'm jumping back in with my question on when to drill the side Fus-11s and
Fus-9 (corner braces) into the cage door posts. I see a few others have
posted this question in the past too, and gather that it doesn't much
matter when it is done, although like me, interest in getting it done
before turning the plane over again. However, I've not seen anything
calling out rivet pitch. Perhaps this is not too critical either since I'm
doubling them anyway per Ontario mod. Thoughts/comments?
Thanks,
