P. 23-07 initiated. Prepared the vent brackets by separating the parts and deburring.
Following the instructions I clecoed the parts together for the vent bracket to final-drill #40 holes in common. Then step #3 calls for MCS the holes in the vent doors. I established correct depth on scrap material and then drilled the vent doors. Step #4 is to file the slot smooth in the F-1087A & B so that the door can be opened and closed smoothly. This went well. Yet to be determined if the door will be smoothly opened after installation.
This is where step #5 has you final drill #30 holes in common on the door parts. After doing the left door as described in the directions, using a block of wood to hold the tabs of the F-1086A & B in place (which worked with effort), I decided to final drill #30 the right side at the bench. The F-1086A & B are very thin (fragile) and when drilling on the bench, the drill bit caught the edge of the part and tore the aluminum in 2 in a blink of the eye. #$%%##$!!! I'll call Vans tomorrow and order a new part!
The new part came on 4/9/09 and spent an hour completing p. 23-07.
