I got back into Roxby Downs around lunch time, so only a short day in the workshop today.
I thought I'd install the doubler plate I made a few days ago for the ammeter shunt and alternator fuse block, however I hit an unexpected snag. On the inside of the firewall there's an aluminium angle brace that I didn't allow for, which impeded the doubler plate I'd made. I cut away the corner but this then left one of the nutplates way too close to the edge of the plate (first picture below).
I bit the bullet and made a new doubler plate.
Making a new doubler plate ... see the problem with the first one?
Checking the new doubler plate for clearance on the firewall ... all okay
The new doubler plate is finished, and ready for rivetting into place (tomorrow)
