Brief Description:  Floorboards, foot wells

Riveted F-805C angle to front seat floor.

Fabricated rear seat L footwell assembly. Filed, polished, sanded, cleaned, dimpled, primed and riveted all parts together, then clecoed assembly to floorboard.

Test-fit floor and L footwell in fuselage. Noted locations for platenuts (34 of them) that will attach the footwells and front seat floorboard to the fuselage. Filed and trimmed L footwell and floorboard for a perfect fit. Will do some research on which type of screws I'll use to secure the floorboards.

Fabricated rear seat R footwell assembly. Clecoed all parts together.

Marked gear tower sides in preparation for cutting out access hole. (The hole will connect the two lower lightening/access holes. It will be covered by a single access cover fabricated from 0.043 aluminum fastened with approximately 20 screws and platenuts.) Took measurements for fabricating the cover plate.
