Brief Description:  Made Plenum Fit/Chamfered Top Skin

The plenum was clecoed to the baffling around all sides of the engine. The corner of the plenum had to have more material removed from it so that it would fit into the corner of the two baffle pieces on the left side. I removed the entire side of the plenum corner and now it fits properly.

The rivet lines of the top skin did not have the edges rolled prior to the holes getting dimpled. I took the hand seamer and tried to put a little bit of a bend into the edges. The forward top skin was filed on the right edge and had a chamfer filed on it. The filed area was smoothed over with the die grinder. This will give a smoother transition between the top skin and the side fuselage skin.
