Empennage, Aft Fuselage (Part 2)

I started today'session by separating the F-01486D, E, and F J-Stiffeners.  The Stiffeners came in one long piece and had to be separated into three individual pieces as shown below.
 
 
The F-1037A, B, and C Battery Angles were separated into four individual parts.  Here is what they look like after preparation.  F-1037B need an additional step to complete its preparation.  I had to drill a #30 hole through the middle of the bend radius and then remove the area of aluminum.  The area removed is circle in the second picture below.

 
The F-01486A-L & -R and the F-01486B-L & -R J-Stiffeners (4 total pieces) need some excess aluminum removed.  The area circled below was removed from all four J-Stiffeners.
 
Two tabs on each of the Aft Fuselage Longerons were removed and the F-01410B-L & -R Bulkhead Doublers were separated.  There is anything to show for the Aft Longerons, but below are the Bulkhead Doublers (along with the previously prepared F-01473A Stiffener Angles).
