With the DEPS in place, the fuse sides can be attended to. The balsa sides were completed and set aside earlier. However, before using them, the 1/16" fuse doublers need to be attached to the front end of the fusebox. I used polyurethane glue and secured the ply doublers in place while they cured.

Slots can be marked and cut to allow the fuse sides to fit over the exit points of the DEPS. While dry fitting the fuse sides, pilot holes can be hand drilled thru at the stab tube location. The fuse sides can now be glued on. Near the nose, the fuse sides will have to be clamped while the glue cures.
