Last night I assembled a part of the camera back. In the picture you can see the guide holes and the dowels used to precisely align the parts for gluing. Once the glue cures, the dowels are ground down. The holes are made in such way that are not visible when the camera is mounted (they don't go all the way through on the parts sides that are visible from the outside). For the most part mounting the parts was simple, though I am now convinced that the parts need to be individually marked with the part number and which face is which. It's possible to identify the parts by looking at the diagrams, but it's a bit of a pain.
Also, there is no such thing as too many clamps. I didn't place one of the clamps properly, and one of the joints is not perfect. Grrr. It's not affecting the functionality, but it doesn't look perfect.
