Step 1: Place the F-1078 Forward Bottom Skin upside down across two sawhorses which are at least 38" tall. as shown in Figure 1, cleco the F-1007 and F-1008 Frames and the F-1010 Bulkhead to the skin. If the stiffeners formed along the side edges of the forward bottom skin interfere with notches in the frames, ether the stiffeners can be bent or the notches in the frames can be enlarged slightly until the stiffeners clear. Locate the forward sawhorse just aft of the F-1007 Frame.

Step 2: Slide the two F-1047F Stiffeners through the notches in the frames as shown in Figure 1. The aft end of the stiffeners should be captured between the F-1008 Frame tabs and the F-1078 Forward Bottom Skin.

Center the forward end marks and the rivet hole centerlines (see Page 10.05 Step 3) of both stiffeners in the indicated holes in the F-1078 Forward Bottom skin, then match-drill the holes into the stiffeners using a #40 drill. Keeping the rivet hole center line visible through the holes in the skin, match-drill the remaining holes into the stiffeners using the same drill. Once drilled, the stiffeners become dedicated left and right parts.
