RE: Black Magic v2 builder's thread! *Updated*
Now slightly open up and elongate the hole in the root rib where the adjuster pin passes through. Make sure you don't get too wide here, but allow the pin free travel so you can adjust without bottoming out on the wood.
Place the root rib in place on the side of the fuse, and slide the adjuster over the pin into place. Square it up, and tack it with thin CA.
Remove it and install the screws.
Now comes the tricky part. there are screws sticking out of your rib....you have to grind them flush. Take your time here, you don't want to get the wood so hot it burns. So do a little, set it down a let it cool, rinse and repeat until done. After it's flush, add a couple drops of thin CA direcly to the screw so it soaks into the surrounding wood. And forget about it, it's there forever.
Now lay your root rib on the stab and gently press. It will leave an outline of the adjuster. Take a hobby knife and carefully remove the foam. Check the fit frequently, you don't want to remove any more than necessary.
After you have a nice fit, make a small mark on the edge of the root rib corresponding to the adjuster screw. you'll hate life later of you don't do this step....
Glue on your root ribs with polyurethane glue, taping it firmly in place. Allow to dry thoroughly before sanding to final shape.
