Turtle Deck, part 4 (4)

4 hours

Lots more progress on this thing.  I got the rest of the parts fit in the #1 former area, adjusted some of the flanges on formers 2-4 for a better fit, and got everything updrilled at the longerons and formers 2-5.

The only part that didn't really fit was this splice plate that joined the two upper formers.  Everything was pilot drilled, and if I clecoed the parts together it pulled the formers down away from the skin.  I had a chunk of plate laying around that was the same thickness, so I just made a new one by tracing the old one.  I transferred the holes from one side of the plate to the new part, then installed it and transferred the other side's holes from the former.
