Short Description: Cowling #35 - Top cowl firewall hinges
|
I inserted the horizontal hinge pins, and they were much more challenging to insert, so I took a spare hinge pin and ran it through the top cowl horizontal hinges, turning it with the drill. I was able to clean out some pro-seal from the hinge eyelets. Hopefully, this will allow the pin to be inserted more easily.
Moving to the firewall hinges on the top cowl, I went back and did a more thorough counter-sinking of the holes and then did some more hinge deburring. With that done, I mixed up the pro-seal, spread it into the syringe, and applied it to the rivet line. I tried to go slightly above the rivet hole and then drop down into the middle where the bonding hole is. The syringe allows me to surgically apply the pro-seal, which is an excellent lesson to learn at the end of the process.
