Ok,
As I may have someones attention, here is my problem. I am installing my
rear bulkhead but before I do I realise there is an issue with determining
some datums. I have determined my longitudinal axis on the floor of the
inside of the boat, and now I notice that the mid point of the 132 mm
between the leading edge of the fuse to fin union, is actually about 6 mm
to port of the floor centreline. My top fits really well currently,
although I do believe that the top tail section twists easily. So, the
question is, "do I accept the dis-orientation and if so, where do I
determine to put the centre of the bulkhead top section, or do I straighten
everything up using a jig( I build the best jigs) and then keep the centre
of the bulkhead in its more logical orientation? I think the answer is
pretty simple, but I also know that lots may have "just built on through
this stage, as per the manual" and that would end up with a small
distortion about the vertical "axis" of the tail section. It probably
doesn't make that much difference, 6 mm, but I don't know whether to chase
it out or not, or if I choose not to, whether it will result in creating
more time absorption than had I done it the other way originally. So,
whatdoyareckon???
