Getting ready to drill the forward side skin and longeron holes into the firewall bracket
Now it's time to drill the last forward holes in the forward side skins into the upper firewall brackets. The instructions say to put more clamps on the firewall brackets to make sure they lie perfectly inside the longerons "V". In order to get a clamp over the flanges of the brackets, a larger clamp is required, but the ends of the clamps are too wide to go between the rivets that are holding the skin and longerons in position. So I took a couple of clamps and ground down the edges so the end of the clamp could fit between the rivets between the rivets.
