Rigging And Fork Cover

Opinions on where the rigging goes on over or under the swell cover I've seen it done both ways what are your thoughts?

Type of rigging? Ring riggings usually go on the first or second thing in construction and stay there throughout (easier to get them even, balanced, and keep them that way). Plate rig can go either way but works better for me if it goes on after swell cover. It has been "fit" before and is returned to reference holes. Reason for me is that then rigging is not in the way for seat/cantle binding work. Skirt rigs. Strength is achieved by attachment of skirt to tree and first row of attachment screws at lower part of bars so there is really no need to wrestle with getting skirts in place then swell cover. Now, that is just part of the puzzle as there are different ideas and practices re rigging/ground seat order. So, the answer becomes: whatever works best for you, then, in years to come you will collect personal experiences to support your way if not 'the only way' at least the 'best way' all things considered. Oh yeah, I left out the differences over the back rigging with ring riggings: first, which can be the smoothest/strongest and thus in the way for seat/cantle binding work or last as saddle is being assembled?
