Brief Description: Locating and Fitting Baggage Floor Supports
For the baggage floor support angle in common with the left side skin, final drilled all holes, deburred, dimpled and attached nut plates for the (4) AN8R8 screws.
Since the floor is not fitted, the aft skin of the baggage compartment is 1/4" more forward than when the floor was not fitted, this means the avionics tray for the transponder and GTR20 radio is now 1/4" too short to fit between the avionics bay main brace and the forward skin of the avionics bay.
I thought about making a new tray, but decided to add 1/4" spacers with longer screws, and added (3) more screws (from 2 to 5) for attaching the tray.
Used a nut plate jig, and a wide clamp to locate the holes for the forward nut plates on the aft side of the firewall. Removed the counter sink bit, and attached to the 90-degree angle drill to counter sink the an426-3 rivet holes for the K1000-8 nut plates needed to secure the floor.
