Brief Description:  Fabricate Exterior Hinge Pocket Covers

1054 - 1254

I decided to redo the hinge pocket covers. The 032 aluminum ones were fairly thick and did not conform to the contour of the cabin top. I chose to use 025 SS for the covers, tapping the hinges for a 6-32 truss head screw. The truss head was decided upon after several tests countersinking or dimpling the SS.

Fabricate covers from 025 SS using shear.

Stack the 4 covers together, locate and drill the holes for the mounting screws using #27 drill.

Position each cover on each hinge pocket.

Punch each hinge for drilling.

Remove doors from fuselage.

Drill each hinge for 6-32 screws using #37 drill.

Tap each hole using 6-32 tap.

Install door and verify fit of covers.
