    cockpit sheetmetal

    Trying to figure out if I messed up position of my rear sheetmetal. I drilled and riveted it by the attachments and floor but my harness strap cutouts are partially covered from where sheetmetal was positioned from factory five, has anybody else experienced this? Holes are covered about 1/4 of the hole.

    That's the way they're supposed to be. The straps rest on the chassis tube vs. on the edge of the cutouts.

    Clecos look so cool. I might just try to find a way to use them around the house. Surely, something needs to help in place via a 1/8" hole.
