Today I assembled the skeleton of 6 towers, without clamps and sensor assembly (attachment 1).
Some of the side plates have this weird hole that doesn't fit any of the suspension blocks (attachment 2). I didn't notice when I counted the parts and now there are exactly enough side plates to assemble 7 towers.
Also found that one of the stiffener plates has a broken threading.
We will need more parts to go beyond the necessary 7 SOSs. I will do the recounting later.
Things to do next:
1. Find the capped spring plungers and send them to C&B.
2. Assemble the clamps onto the suspension blocks.
3. Push some Viton tips into the vented screws we got to make safety stops.
4. more C&B: Magnets, dumbells, dowel pins, OSEMs.
5. Push clean dowel pins into the last suspension block.
6. Assemble 7th Tower.
7. Assemble safety stops and clamps.
8. Glue magnets to dumbells.
