Re: Using Sling App
We are planning to update the Sling 2 manuals as soon as we complete the TSI ones.
They will be done in the same way with the colored explodes views and additional assembly information.

Good day
The assembly steps for the hatches that you posted are correct and they will be in the updated manuals.

Hi guys
Yes Andrew you are correct, the rivet gun leaves noticeable mark on the head of an aluminium rivet.
The aluminium are generally a bit duller in color when compared to a stainless steel rivet.
I will share picture of a stainless steel rivet as an example shortly.
