Brief Description: Riveting and inital seat install
Today I riveted all the locations I could reach by myself, the longerons and down the sides of the fuselage joint. Then I clecoed in the rear seat pans and the left baggage floor. I'm going to put the Garmin AHRS under the right rear seat, which will entail cutting off part of a seat rib flange and using a piece of angle facing the other way, so I can have an opening wide enough. You can see in the second picture how I am marking the opening. The cover will simply be hinged at the rear with a couple of flush screws to hold it shut at the front, rather than a plate with screws all around. The left baggage floor is a problem because the conduits will have to transition under it to the rear of the fuselage. I'm planning for the transitions to run between the ribs and will have to modify them slightly to keep the rivet locations - some tabs will have to be trimmed slightly. Better to do all this planning now, while I have access.
