cheers old chap! Once these are fitted the only large scale rivetting left will be the canopy rails!!!
So thats “only” about 400 countersunk rivets. Bet yourt head will be sore after tryng to get them in straight lines.

On F11 the vertical measurements from the datum down are 142.67mm,288.8,435 and 694.These are to the hole centres on the intecostal brackets out to the frame heel.On cockpit photos it looks like between F10 and F9 a hatsection stiffener runs central as well.Be careful up around the F7 to F5 as there is a few hatches,cutouts for access to the bottom fuel tank,line fittings out to the wings and hydraulic rams for the UC.Hope it helps mate.
Cheers Ross

Hi Tony will have a look for you today on the drawings.I know we have worked them out for F11 and aft to the tail.Some of them are to hold the fasteners for the wing root fairings IIRC.
Cheers Ross
