Brief Description: Front upper skin cut, baggage door work and primin
Cut the front skin for Fastback last night, and checked I hadnet screwed up this morning... all good! Reinforcment strip added and clecoed into place, and edge sanded down flush.. looks nice.
Some internet work to figure out the fixation method as instructions not that clear. there are two seperate fixings; the first is double countersunk 416 rivets needing 2.5mm match drilling and countersinking each side, then alternating with these are drill holes for No6 machine screws that eventually fix to plate nuts beneath the fibreglass fairing. This means larger countersink of the skin and reinfoecment plate.
Baggae door cut out of skin, and frame reinforcement strips attached to allow match drilling of all of the elements... then I remove all of the Fastback elements that Ive been working on so taht they can be prepped for priming and installation later.
Degreased the interior of the hull and applied two coats of epoxy primer to the inside surface so that I can start puttin in the flooring, knowing that corrosion beneath is unlikey
Fatsback cut out, reinforcement strip attached
Baggae door frame positioned
looking good with fastback skins before I took them all off!
