Is this how these small panels mount? (Side of footbox)

Numbered 4 and 8. I took them off a really long time ago and the drawing they give is garbage.

Thanks in advance.

I took a bunch of photos of the sheetmetal as it came from FFR before I disassembled everything. This is how those pieces were put together from the factory.

Thanks for this. From the looks of your picture those two pieces slide thru the slot in #3, rather than mount them to the outside surface of #3.

I need to go buy rivets, I'll fiddle with it when I get back. Fortunately the only holes drilled so far were the screw holes from FFR (and one from me).

Inside or outside. If you mount them outside you'll gain .080" more foot room

Thanks Jeff. I was hoping that was the case. Much easier to install they way I've got them now.

Why the manual doesn't say to install those things BEFORE you put on #3 is beyond me...

I noticed that was going to be a challenge if the outside footbox wall was riveted in place first, so I riveted all those little bits to the outside wall before installing the outside wall.

I've got around a 50/50 chance of success when I blaze my own trail trying to interpret something from the manual so I figured I should just ask first. I'm tired of drilling out rivets because I interpreted something wrong. Y'all are a great resource, and I can wait a day to finish something if I only have to do it once.
