| Finished riveting the right Fwd fuse rib, nutplates, and the WD-1004, It turns out that the Plans call for the mfg rivet head to be |
|
| on the INSIDE, which eliminates the problem I was having, it also makes it MUCH easier to buck these rivets. Unfortunately, this |
|
| was oointed out to me AFTER I drilled and reriveted 75% of the rivets in this piece, I guess I'm going to have to slow down a bit, |
|
| which oddly enough should spedd thing up, since I've spent soooo much time in rework. The proceeded to rivet the Ribs and the |
|
| stiffeners to the firewall, I backriveted these, but had a real problem with the rivets that rivet the WD1004 to the firewall, they just |
|
| wouldn't set flush, even after drilling out several times, I ended up bucking them w/ the flush set and got them set flush. But I |
|
| think i drilled and reriveted each rivet 3 times!!!! In doing the right rib, I found out the reason, the whole rib assembly was |
|
| interferring with the F1001C stiffener/brace, Apparently this also happened on the other side and caused the firewall to take a |
|
| slight bend in this area. On the right side, i trimmed/filed the parts that were conflicting, and the riveting went MUCH easier w/ |
|
| just the back rivet approach. |
