I managed to get a bit done today. I decided that as the outboard seat ribs were going to be clecoed back together to the floor and bulkheads/armrests etc I'd do the manual aileron trim work.
So the support bracket and end brackets were riveted to the inner seat ribs, along with the cotter pins for teh springs, the clevis and bolts for th efork end of the sliding rob, and the friction block.
Drilling the frictin block for the retaining bolts I found that the block seemed to shrink to a slightly smaller size than the drill bit when the drill bit was removed, this made it very difficult to push the bolts through, so instead of drilling them 3/16th, I drilled them 7/32nd and the bolts fitted just fine, without any free play or slack. I tightened the retaining bolt down till I couldn't get a 5 thou feeler gauge under the bloc, thinking that we cannot really torque the bolt down without crushing the nylon bloc. The friction adjusting bolt is down just tight enough to cause what I think is enough friction to stop the adjusting rod moving under vibration.
I then stated to put thebulkhead, armrests back together and clecoed them. Tomorrow the drilling comences
Manual aileron trim.
Mostly back together.
Bulkheads/armrests clecoed together in prep for drilling.
