Part 2 Hi Brian,
The 'stringers' you refer to are the Structural Floors I think. Those drawings can be downloaded from the links provided. They are big, about 3' by 4' so it is best to download them and view them in a pdf viewer that will let you zoom way in. There is a detail on those drawings as follows: STRUCTURAL FLOORS 1. 2 LAYERS KEVLAR HYBRID 2. 1 LAYER KEVLAR HYBRID ON TOP ONLY 3. 3 LAYERS OF 18oz./1oz. FABMAT Here is a link to that detail from the Construction Drawing: https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZlxOeqGWYe0/Ws39SyZcQGI/AAAAAAAB1fc/0fUCvVSqzqYEHiiwFZ67HeLvKyk0Lsr1gCLcBGAs/s1600/Construction%2BDetail%2Bfor%2Bthe%2B37%252B%2BMay%2B28%252C%2B1988-1.jpg Ken H.
