SECTION 35: ACCESS COVERS AND FLOOR PANELS

Step 1 - this step needs to be also done for the Quick Build, it says "Standard Kit" only. The holes are only drilled 1/8th and need to be match drilled to #30. Also the holes on the front that need to be match drilled into the main spar aren't done with the Quick Build. There is one hole on each side facing the rear spar which is very close to a seat rib. When you match drill this hole, the drill will be scraping the web of the rib underneath the seat. Later, when you rivet this hole, you cannot get a bucking bar behind the entire rivet, so it will have a step.
Step 5 - Figure 2 shows AD470AD4-4 rivets along the outboard and inboard foot well ribs. There are though two rivets an each side of the floor boards that go through the seat belt attach lugs and they need to be longer. The entire row of rivets along the outboard foot well rib is really hard to buck, see this FB thread or this FB thread for hints. See also this FB thread.

Step 1 - the QB comes with the holes not match drilled. You first need to cleco the seat floors and match drill for pop rivets, then bend the floor up (it is already riveted at the rear edge) and debur the holes from the underside and then clean out the burs.
