[SilverStreak] Thomas Williams new hinge installation procedure

["Eddie" <Eddie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas,
Still catching up...So the rivets are not too long for the installation and 
use, only too long to affix with the doors closed? So do you install some of 
the rivets, then open the door(s) and finish installing? Please explain 
sufficiently that I can correct any part of the installation instructions as 
needed. Be specific. Email off list if desired. We need to know what you 
know.

Did you use all the rivets I provided?
Did you use the tape or give up on that?
Exactly what needs to be changed in the instructions?
Did the Boeing drill bit work, useful, not?

Thank you.
