Brief Description:  Long SCAT for Heater, Installed Left Seat Rails.

Installed the long SCAT tubing from the port on the left inlet ramp to the heat muff on the left exhaust pipe.

Began installing the left front seat rails. Realized that there were no nut plates under the 8 center screw holes in the outside rail. Searched the plans, including the pfd plans, but could find nothing calling for installation of nut plates in these locations. Initially I thought that I needed to install nut plates to the seat floor plate, and started drilling for the nut plate rivets. While taking a brief break, it dawned on me that I still had 2 fabricated support pieces that had not yet been installed. These fit in the space, but I could find no where in the plans where they were callout out for installation. (The fabrication steps for these said to set them aside for later install on the main gear leg supports.) These were obviously the missing pieces, so I installed them with hardware that was obviously required. Installation was very difficult at this late stage in construction, as access to the bottom nuts under the gear leg supports was nearly impossible. After much bruising and damage to my arms, I managed to get all the bolts installed and tightened for the brackets for both the left and right seats.
