Brief Description: Sec 49-2 step 1

I need to get everything done that is possible in the tailcone and Aft Fuse so that I can rivet the Aft upper Fuse skin in place before sending it out for paint. One of the tasks was attaching the rear seatbelt cables to the tailcone, as it will be VERY difficult to reach these after the skin is riveted in place. I also remounted the Crossbow AHRS, using stainless steel hardware, and some small rubber grommets to dampepn an vibrations transmitted through the longerons. I attached the cable/harness using some screws and blue Locktite. Reinstalled the Batteries as well. I needed to make some standoffs abut 3/4" in order to be able to use the bolts that Van's supplied to clamp the top of the batteries in place. (I previously modified this with some angle alum to provide clamping force for both batteries.

Rear Seat belt cables bolted in place
