Today I marked the hinges for rivet holes and drilled them to #40. I did this by carefully measuring and marking one of them, drilling it, and then using it to backdrill through the others. Then, I drilled and clecoed them to the seat floors.
Finally, I clecoed the seat floors to the seat ribs to check for fit and make sure there was no interference with any of the rivets hitting the underlying ribs. Some other builders have reported some conflicts in this area, but I had no interference issues at all. Everything fit perfectly.
