Short Description: Match Drill Left Firewall Hinge to the Firewall
|
Match Drill Left Firewall Hinge to the Firewall. The F-14134B-L Shim was positioned between the Side Skin and the Hinge.
Match drilled the #30 holes of the Upper and Lower Longerons.
Match drilled #30 the holes common to the Left Side Skin, Center Plate, and the Upper Drag Block.
Fitted the Right Side Skin to the fuselage. This required multiple installations of the Side Skin. Like the Left Side, the Lower Longeron, where it was trimmed according to the plans, kept contacting the Center Plate, preventing the Skin from seating correctly. As I had learned on the Left Side, I had to significantly taper the aft end of the Lower Longeron almost totally removing the upper lip. The Center Plate was filed a small bit to get the clearance needed to seat the Side Skin. The Side Skin was clecoed to the Fuseage and the Firewall.
