But while I have access to them I will drill hold just in case I need some sort of fastener. One of my goals for this project is to fabricate as much from scratch as possible.

Screw fitting??<br />What material will they they be made of, resin, aluminium, 3D?? The length, if slightly longer than the recess would mean a full size hole for the rods to fit through. Either way, pre-drilling the holes before the skin is on is a must as later with a drill, is not easy :)<br /><br />I'd suggest looking into the rods and how to fit them before you go further, will save you a headache :)James_R5D4https://www.blogger.com/profile/16863045196614393483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525388074548366367.post-63733004590198207062017-04-16T17:29:34.085-07:002017-04-16T17:29:34.085-07:00Good tip, I really haven't thought that far ah...Good tip, I really haven't thought that far ahead.Dan Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07071989815220997114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525388074548366367.post-18625703324458045872017-04-16T16:40:37.062-07:002017-04-16T16:40:37.062-07:00Looking good.

Make sure you drill holes in the recess boxes for the dome rods to fit into etc, before fitting the dome skin :)James_R5D4https://www.blogger.com/profile/16863045196614393483noreply@blogger.com
