Step 1: Rivet the F-1044 Fwd Fuselage Rib Subassembly and F-1083 Control Cable Bracket to the F-1068A Sub Panel Center as shown in Figure 1.
Step 2: Rivet the F-1068B-L Sub Panel Side and F-1045-L Forward Fuselage Rib to the F-1068A Sub Panel Center as shown in Figure 1.
Rivet the F-1068B-R Sub Panel Side and F-1045-R Fwd Fuselage Rib to the sub panel center as shown in Figure 1.
Step 3: Rivet the F-1071 Fwd Fuse Top Skins to the Sub Panel/Fwd Fuselage Rib Subassembly using the riveting and riveting sequence shown in Figure 2.
Install the rivets sequentially beginning with the rivet row labeled "RIVET 1st" through the rivet row labeled "RIVET 5th"only. See Figure 2.
Install the rivets in the rivet rows labeled "RIVET 6th" and "RIVET 7th" beginning each row with the most inboard rivet and progressing outboard. See Figure 2.

Note: Since I will probably be using a custom built panel I am going to just leave the rest of this section unriveted until I see what will be required to attach it.
Step 1: Rivet the F-1003C-L & -R Instrument Attach Flanges to the F_1071 Fwd Fuse Top Skin as shown in Figure 1.
Step 2: Rivet the F-1003D and F-1003E Instrument Attach Flanges to the F-1071 Fwd Fuse Top Skin as shown in Figure 1. Use the rivets and riveting sequence shown in 31-9, Figure 2.
Step 3: Rivet the two F-1071B Hand Hold Doublers to the F-1071 Fwd Fuse Top Skin as shown in Figure 1. Use the Page 31-9, Figure 2.
Step 4: Temporarily attach the F-1003A Instrument Panel and F-1003B Instrument Panel Lower Flange to the Upper Forward Fuselage Subassembly and set aside for now.
The attachment of the upper forward fuselage subassembly is covered in ta later section of the assembly manual. Now is a good time to plan the lay-out and installation of the items that will be mounted in and/or behind the instrument panel. Pay particular attention to placement of equipment so as to avoid interference with the upper forward fuselage structure.
