There are several rivet holes in the fuselage that were deliberately left open to facilitate gluing the C-1002A Door Outer Shells to the C-1002B Door Inner Shells. At each of the open holes, draw reference lines on the fuselage side so that the hole centers can be located when covered.
Cleco the C-1002A-L Door Outer Shell to the C-1002B-L Door Inner Shell using the four #40 holes in the window flange of the door inner shell.
Cleco the C-1002A-L Door Outer Shell C-1002B-L Door Inner Shell into the fuselage using the forward and aft index holes. Verify that there is a constant 1/16 to 1/8 inch gap between the C-1002B-L Door Inner Shell and the return flange of the C-1001 Cabin Cover. Trim or sand the cabin cover return flange if/as required to achieve the required gap.
I have also been having dialogue with the Van's shipping department. In the Firewall Foreward plans, it calls for 1/4 plugs to plug the extra sender mount holes. The ones sent were too big. The replacements they sent were the same size and also too big. I finally emailed a copy of the plans and asked if they test fitted these parts. After the third or fourth round of emails, they finally contacted Gus, who stated the plans were incorrect and the correct part is really a 1/8 plug. It would nice if they would publish corrections to known errors in the plans.
