Finally got a little time to work on the project. Spent about and hour playing with the rear template placement jig and the rear channels.

When I had my last major question, I was trying to determine the jig distance for the rear channel ( 380 or 400mm ). I called Zenith and Roger gave me a better way: do not even use the jig. His suggestion was ( working center outwards ) to square the ribs, place the wing channels and THEN drill the angle to the channels.

Having already jigged the long sets, I decided to do this for the short channel.

Here is the problem: I first test fitted the 600mm channels and the angle ( 7V6-3 ) was not protruding far enough from the channel. The mating surfaces were about 3-4 mm apart. The obvious fix is to trim away a small portion of the flange from the wing rib. Because the piece must be 600mm for proper rib alignment, moving the 7V6-3 or the fabricated end cap are not options.

I'm still going to follow Roger's advice for the shorter channels since I can trim the entire channel for clearance before adding the 7V6-3 and still maintain proper edge distance.
