Re: MAINEiac STi Build
It’s been a bit crazy with work so not as much progress as I’d like, but here’s what I have done as of now. A few more weeks, and I should have some more work time. I found the front floorboard where the rudder pedal assembly attaches, is not plumb. I will have to shim it or I’m sure it will bind like others have found.
Also had to ask if the instructions had changed on p. 37, where it states to use a rivet not supplied in my kit. Says if using prefab parts, use a 1/8x1/8 SS rivet, builder fabricated parts use 1/8x1/4 AL rivets. I am only provided with AL rivets. Aaron told me the page has been updated in October. Just curious if others have this page?
