I think I missed it. also that bar that you can remove in nose for oil cooler opening with the one screw in it, does that get riveted and bonded also? Will post pics this weekend..
I bonded both areas. On the oil cooler opening I used 3 rivets - one in the shipping screw location and another either side of it a few inches away. I seems like in front of the hood opening, I replaced the shipping screw or installed a rivet after bonding. I can't remember if I added any additional ones there or not. I will look later today.
