Brief Description:  Brake Line Attachment Adjustment

Now that I have finished the FWF for fuel and oil lines, decided to finish the fitting of the forward baggage floor. ON the first attempt, I realize the brake line attachment riveted to the aft skin of the baggage compartment, which is also the forward skin of the avionics bay, is riveted to the wrong side, it should be riveted on the avionics bay side to allow the baggage floor to sit flush with the aft skin.

Drilled out the rivets attaching the brake line attachment, dimpled the skin for the AN426 rivets, I had mysteriously used AN470 rivets earlier, and counter sunk the brake line attachment bracket for the dimpled skin.

To provide some stiffening to the skin, which has none at the bottom, I clamp some alum angle so then riveting the bracket is easier...

Riveted the bracket in place.
