Today I worked on the VP Service Bulletin #2. After 3 hours I drilled 8 holes! I have posted a question to the VP Builder's site online. Maybe next week I will drill the remaining holes. The issue is to get all the holes lined up and to get the Service Bulletin pieces lined up.
Hello everyone,
You have all probably succeeded in this (probably obvious) procedure that has me temporarily baffled. If I had looked ahead I probably would have drilled the 1/4 inch holes before assembly but now after installation I am at a quandary. How do I get a drill bit in the small spaces to drill the 1/4" holes described in VP Service Bulletin #2? the space between the gear braces is only about 4" and the space between the fwd cockpit wall is only about 3". Fortunately, I have not installed the 1/4 inch thick ply to the bottom of the braces yet. Please forgive the dark photo.
12 APR 2021 - I realize I never answered my question... I purchased a set of stubby bits and 90 degree offset attachment for my drill. It barely fit but it did fit.
The answer is probably obvious to those of you that have done it - but for now I am wondering if I need to take a 1/4" bit and cut it down so my 90 degree drill bit attachment will fit in a 4" space.
