Tonight, I made a few more steps on the FWD fuse final assembly per instruction page 8-16 & 8-17. The main task for the evening was radiusing gussets F-845-1 and F846-1 for both side LH & RH. The objective was to ensure the gusset fit perfectly with no fouling with radius found in F804C-FR bulkheads.
I achieved this by slightly grinding gusset on their edge to reduce their lenght and contact surface in the radius. Then each gusset was carefully radiused with a file, then with scotch brite. Finally, the gussets were temporarily installed to ensure perfect fit.
