Brief Description:  Baggage door complete

Strapped the baggage door in place on the fuselage with the aircraft side hinge half in place supported buy closed cell foam.

Match drilled the fuselage side hinge half. Removed and deburred it. Riveted it in place.

Located the Fwd and Aft latch blocks in place and match drilled them to 1/16 inch deep. Removed the blocks and used the drill press to drill them through first with a #30 drill and then a #19. Machine countersank the baggage compartment side of the blocks and chamfered the latch pin hole. Opened the pilot holes in the bulkhead and firewall and screwed the blocks in place.

Cut a piece of closed cell foam insulation board to fit in the baggage door hinge support as recommended by the plans to help prevent water intrusion.

Discovered that the door support strut was hitting the RH reinforcement angle for the GPS antenna bracket. Removed the angle and the door fit better with the strut installed.
