4. Set the assembled panels on the base frame
assembly and align the center of the door to
be directly above the AFT marking on the base
frame.
5. Loosely install bolts, fender washers and nuts
to attach the panels to the base frame using
the hardware provided. Do NOT tighten the
bolts at this time.
NOTE: There are eight holes, directly above the legs of
the baseframe, that bolts can NOT be fitted into
because of the leg hardware beneath. These holes
should be plugged, do NOT try to force a bolt into
these holes.
6. Continue adjoining additional panels loosely
installing hardware in the mated vertical
flanges and in the horizontal flange to the
base pan.
7. Continue until all of the lower radome panels
are in place.
8. Use small wedges to open a vertical seam
wide enough to install a good bead of silicone
caulk. Working from top to bottom apply
Loctite to and then firmly tighten all of the
bolts in that seam (smaller dual beads of
caulking can be applied from outside and
inside if you prefer).
