Brief Description: Engine Cowl Hinge Work and Spinner Bulkhead
Riveted the hinges to the FW flange for the cowl. Depending on which diagram referenced, the rivet call-out is either AD426AN3-4.5 or 3-5. Trial and error shows 3-5 is better where the top skin is in common with the FW flange and baggage door support.
The remaining hinges on the side and bottom, require a spacer shim at .032
After attaching the hinges, attached the spinner bulkhead to the ring gear using my newly acquired AN8-27A bolts (2) through the 3/4" PVC cut to 2 and 1/8 " length. The reportedly is the distance needed to simulate the installation of a C/S prop, which I have not purchased. The prop will be my last major (planned) purchase and my last installation item, just prior to DAR inspection, engine pre-oil, and finally, first engine start.
