Step 1:  Remove the F-1074 and F-1075 Top Skins  and the F-1047 Stiffeners which are attached to them.

Step 2:  Position one of the two F-636 Shoulder Harness Anchors on the F-1032-L Longeron (just forward of the F-1008 Frame.) using the dimensions in the blowup of Figure 1. Clamp the anchor into position, then, using a #12 drill, match-drill the three holes of the anchor in the longerons.

Repeat this step for the second anchor on the F-1032-R Longeron.

Step 3:  Drill the hole (indicated in the blowup) for the static source in both the F-1073-L & R Side Skins using a #30 drill. If you didn't choose the Static Kit Option, the two holes can be dimpled and filled with flush rivets

Step 4: Final Drill the four attachment holes, shown in Figure 2, in the F-824B Cover Plates and the corresponding holes in the F-1073 Side Skins using a #28 drill.

Step 5:  Final -Drill the eight nut plate attachment rivet holes (see figure) in both Side Skins.

Step 1:  The triangular portion on the forward end of the F-1073-R  Side Skin needs to be trimmed in Step 3. At this point, draw a trim line on the side skin as shown in Figure 2. Make sure the trim line clears the F-1006B Bulkhead flange.

Step 3: Trim the triangular portion from the F-1073_R Side Skin which was marked in Step 1. TRIM ONLY THE RIGHT SKIN.

Step 4:  Deburr the holes and any unfinished edges of all the tailcone parts. NOTE: I can see this is going to be a huge job. One on the tools I really like is this deburing tip from Avery that fits into an electric drill or screw driver. It was really worth the money.

Step 5:  Dimple the holes which are used to attach the F-1006D Bulkhead to the F-1006A (Not shown in Figure 1) and F-1006C Bulkheads. Dimple the holes which are used to attach the F-1028 Baggage Bulkhead Channel to the F-1000D Bulkhead. Dimple the 1/8 rivets, flush on the forward side (see figure 2). The rivets are flush to accommodate the F-1006E & F Baggage Bulkhead Corrugations installed later.

Step 6:  Final-Drill the holes indicated in Figure 2 to 11/16 using a Unibit step drill. This hole provides clearance for the tie down eyebolt.

Step 7: Dimple all the #40 holes in the F-1012 Bulkhead for 3/32" flush rivets and the four #30 holes (common to the F-1012E Tie Down Bar) for 1/8" flush rivets. The rivets are flush on the aft side of the bulkhead as shown in Figure 3. DO NOT dimple the six 3/16" holes.

Dimple the F-1012A Bulkheads for the dimples of the F-1012B Bulkhead.

Dimple the three holes in the flange of the F-1014 Aft Deck for the dimples of the F-1012A Bulkhead.

Step 8: Machine countersink the four #40 holes in the F-1056 Rudder Stop Brace and the four #30 holes in the F-1012E Tie Down Bar deep enough fore the dimples in the F-1012A Bulkhead.
