Brief Description: Top Skin Fitting and Final Drill
|
|
Completed the final drilling of the top skin pre-punched holes to the firewall, starting at the center and working down the left and right sides, using side clamp clecoes to hold in place, as well as the forward baggage door supports aligning the pre-punched holes, and moving them down the side as I worked down the firewall.
Final drilled #30 the baggage door hinge support in common with the firewall and baggage bulkhead. Marked the holes by slightly drilling using #40 into the firewall and baggage bulkhead, then completed using #30 for the two fiorward and two rear holes in common with the firewall and baggage bulkhead.
Attached the windscreen support strips for the top skin on the left and right, located the pre-punched holed in the skin, marking the location on each support strip. Inspected to ensure sufficient edge distance for final drilling the holes, reattached using clamps, and final drilled #40 both the left and right side support strips.
Next Step is to disaassemble the top skin (removing all of the clecos, lost count) to debur all holes and edges in the top skin and associated parts
