Hi, Just a quick question regarding the bilge panels on my MC16.5 kit - is it normal to have the little 'bump' at either end? When I first saw them I thought it might have been an error in the laser cutting but the more I look at them I think that they are supposed to be like that - do they fit over the end points of the bottom panel?
I'm not quite at that stage yet - still glueing sheer clamps - but thought I'd ask before I got there.
Thanks
Steve
p.s. I'm talking about the notch at the bottom end of the panel (not the little spike which I'm yet to sand off).

Thanks John,
Yes it was the little 'detente' that I was referring to.
Cheers

The little sharp thing is where the CNC machine started and left off, and as you stated correctly, that's to be sanded off.
A few years ago we added the "detente" at the end of the bilge panel to indicate, emphatically, where the bottom panel engages the bilge panels. It's helped a lot with assembly.
