| Began work on the Firewall, again it took some time to locate all of the parts, although the parts count is beginning to deminish |
|
| and the searches are taking less time, Started with the recess box, match drilling countersinking then riveting the edges |
|
| together. Then on theo the Firewall proper. Deburred the edges of all parts, clecoed them to FW then match drilled. Both #30 |
|
| (most of the holes) and #40 (nutplates and a couple of attach points), then dimpled the Firewall, just need to be careful about |
|
| which side the dimples are on. Also, it wasn't clear whether or not to dimple some of the holes that DO get drilled but don't have |
|
| any parts which attach to them in this section, I looked ahead in the plans and checked a couple of other builder web sites and |
|
| found out that YES you DO dimple these holes at this point (The plans could have been clearer). The last part was to |
|
| countersink th eback of all of the parts that attach to the Firewall back side, as the rivets are all flush head. that's it for today, |
|
| Tomorrow well prime the parts rivet them to the FW and continue on. |
