| Step 1: Make sure the bend in the F-1032 longerons is still located at the break in the F-1073 Side Skins, then clamp the longerons to the F-1014 Aft Deck and the side skins as shown in Figure 1 (only one side is shown clamped). For proper alignment, the apex (corner) of the longerons must clamped even with the edges of the skins over there entire length. They must also be clamped even with the side edges of the F-1014 Aft Deck. See section A-A in Figure 1. | |
| Step 2: Match-Drill all the common holes of the F-1073 Side Skins into the F-1032 longerons using a 3/32" drill. Since the longerons are relatively thick, be sure to drill square to the skins (use the refection of the drill in the skins as a guide) A angled hole will cause the rivets to "lean over" when installed, and will make it more difficult to hit the blind, punched hole in the frame and bulkhead tabs behind the longerons. DO NOT match-drill any holes of the F-1014 Aft Deck into the longerons at this time. | |
|
Step 3: Final-Drill all remaining skin to frame and skin to bulkhead holes on each side of the tailcone. again DO NOT drill any holes associated with the F-1006 Bulkhead. |
|
Step 4: Final Drill #40 all the 3/32" holes which are common to the F-102A & B Bulkhead webs and the three holes at the top of the bulkheads webs which are common to the F-1014 Aft Deck. |
|
| Step 5: Final drill all
the skin to frame and bulkhead holes (except the F-1006 Bulkhead) on the
bottom of the tailcone using a #40 drill. Using the same drill, final-drill the common holes along the edges of the Side Skins and the F-1078 and F-1079 Bottom Skins. |
