Barry Knotts" : Pat Now I get it. Very helpful. I'll check on that before I drill any more holes. (Your're just in time!) Barry >>>The belly skin in that area is backed by the walls of the nose gear tunnel. If there is curvature to it the rails won't straighten it out, they will flex to the curve. I fastened the rails at the nose gear mounting point and the forewardmost mounting hole in the belly skin and did a flox release to get a straight platform to bolt the rails to. This resulted in having to body work the belly to fair in the aft portion of the door/hinge assembly. (At the worst point the doors were ~1/8" high). <<<
