Deburred, cleaned, dimpled, primed and riveted F-830C stiffeners to bottom of "foreward aft" floorboards.
Installed and began drilling in the floorboards. Planned locations for #8 platenuts and marked floors appropriately. The screws along the edges will be non-countersinked. Only the ones that will be subject to foot traffic will be countersunk.
Drilled out the temporary pop-rivets that were holding the baggage compartment floor in.
Began cutting the access holes in the gear towers. (My plan is to connect the bottom pre-existing two holes and cover the larger holes with 0.040 aluminum access covers, using 20 screws and platenuts for each.)
Yesterday, I received an order of assorted AN hardware from Aircraft Spruce to add to my supply. (You can't have too much AN hardware!) Today, I organized most of it into plastic hardware drawers, and made new labels for the drawers.
This is the floorboard split. It looks great and sits perfectly flush. I'm really glad I did this!
