The July assembly could not end with the tower shake test becauseof several problems:
•Due to a wrong indication in the drawings, the sidewalls were not atspecs (2 missing YS90 tissue layers).
•The fixture and the cable holder, 2 interface frames between theshaker and the tower, had constructive problems that could not beworked out. The fixture and the cable holder are now in SLAC forreworking
Other minor problems found during the assembly:Few screws did not enter to the end ⇒ cleaning of the thread holesThe connectors of the cactus cable were difficult to connect and quite fragile ⇒new connectors and special tools will be used in flight cablesThe thermisters of 2 cables were removed because mounted in the wrong place ⇒these 2 cables will be replaced before the thermal test
