With the C-1001 Cabin Cover on the fuselage, cleco the F-1074 Tailcone Forward Top Skin in place. Use plenty of clecos to ensure that the skin is tight against the F-1006 Bulkhead.

Push the aft end of the C-1001 Cabin Cover up against the F-1074 Tailcone Forward Top Skin. If the aft flange of the cabin cover was trimmed to the scribe line giving a 3/4" flange, the flange should clear the F-1006 Bulkhead. If it does not clear it will have to be trimmed further. Don’t trim it too much though, just enough to clear the bulkhead.

Clamp the C-1001 Cabin Cover door openings to the aft ends of the F-1015C Mid Cabin Decks and to the top ends of the F-1005C Bulkhead Side Channels. The forward portions of the door openings do not need to be clamped at this time. When clamping to the top of the bulkhead side channels, make sure the cabin cover fits flush against the top edge of the F-1070 Mid Side Skins. The cabin cover should not push the skin outboard, nor should there be a gap between the cabin cover and the skin.

Push the aft end of the C-1001 Cabin Cover up against the F-1074 Tailcone Forward Top Skin. Match-Drill #30 the twenty-five holes, which are along the forward edge of the skin and between the rivet lines of the F-1047B Stiffeners, into the cabin cover. Start at the center of the cabin cover and work outboard. Make sure to keep the drill perpendicular to the skin, and, to keep the cabin cover tight against the skin, cleco each hole as you drill.

Remove the clecos securing the cabin cover to the skin, push the cabin cover away from the skin, clean out any drilling dust from between the two parts, then reinstall the clecos.

Now, match-drill #30 and cleco the rest of the holes down both sides. If gapping occurs between the cabin cover and skin, remove as many clecos as necessary, and clean out any trapped drilling dust.

Match-Drill #30 the holes along the top edge of both F-1070 Mid Side Skins into the C-1001 Cabin Cover.
