Rear Cockpit Sheetmetal

[karlos]

No clear picture of how this goes together in the build manual. The lower photo seems more correct, but the manual specifies that the holes should be drilled in the side wall prior to installing the rear wall. This implies that the side wall should go on the outside like shown in the upper photo. What say you guys?

I put the side wall over the rear wall. Like your upper picture. I'm not sure it matters a lot though. Whichever way you feel works and fits better. It's all completely buried in carpet and behind the seat when you're done. But one hint though. Hopefully you have the trunk side walls and floor riveted in place before doing the cockpit back wall? That's an issue I have the sequence shown in the build manual. You'll have a tough time doing some of the trunk rivets with the cockpit back wall pieces in place.

MOD EDIT reference to delete post removed.

Ed: thanks for the reminder about the back wall. Exactly the feedback I was looking for. Simply trying to avoid making decisions now that will have to be undone later.

Don't remember how I finely placed them, dry fit them a number of times when cutting speaker holes, as said the carpet covers them. +1 on the trunk floor/sides..

Did my sides over the rear Karlos; mine fit better that way.
