Just when you think you totally understand what needs to be done, take a second look.
The directions for how to attach the hinge to the toolbox didn’t fully make sense to me, but I “thought” I understand what was being asked. OOPS!, I was mistaken, and the holes I drilled were far too close to the edge of the hinge material. (The hinge attaches to the OUTSIDE of the toolbox!). Also when they say that the eyelets should be flush with the top of the box, they mean that the top of the eyelets should be flush, not the bottom. Oh well.
So this means that I will be putting the build of my tool-box on hold until I can order a new hinge. Not the worst thing in the world, but slightly annoying. The debate is, order the part now, or wait until I order the Empennage just in case my next practice kit also needs some replacement parts!
I’ll see if I can do any additional steps, or if I just need to wait until the new hinge arrives. Bummer. I was just starting to have fun putting this together!
