Brief Description:
Rebuild Avionics Mounting Panel
I rebuilt the avionics mounting bulkhead to incorporate the new CNC cut panel.
The first step was to drill out all of the old rivets. I dreaded this, but it went quite quickly.
Next was the usual match drilling, deburring and countersinking.
Rivetting went pretty quickly. I did have to drill out about 10 rivets to get a smooth fit.
The notches for the longerons had to be opened up from about 0.110 to 0.140" The result was a very, very tight, precise fit.
I finsihed by ScotchBriting and priming the back side.
I need to do the same thing to the main panel, then send them all out for powder coating.
