Last night I put a bead of Fireseal 2000+ around the inside of the firewall flange to seal all the gaps between the engine bay and cabin. The bead was placed in the corner and then forced into the gaps using a tongue depressor and fingers.
Today, the skybolt receptacles were clecoed in position and then riveted per specification, using a p-squeezer.
Per skybolt instructions, cowl was drilled for grommets with a 15/32" unibit.
Install grommets with temporary retainers. These retainers will be replaced with permanent ones after the aircraft is painted.
Install skybolt fasteners into gromments using skybolt pliers.
Install lower cowl and adjust skybolt receptacles per instructions.
Install top cowl and adjust skybolt receptacles per instructions.
