Lots of lack of progress. A"bug" got the whole family for a couple of days, and a further day was needed to catch up on chores, particularly with Christmas approaching.
Anyway, eventually back in the saddle, and here I am staring to rivet all of the forward fuselage parts I had primed.
Picture 1 shows the Firewall Spacer and a nutplate. The plans call for just one rivet to be squeezed, but other noters say there's no later step to rivet the other. Doubting Thomas has just one rivet for now ;-)
Picture 2 shows some of the many nutplates that are involved wirth this forward fuselage work. Tedious, but I suppose encouraging that all of this stuff will be able to be undone later, if required.
Picture 3 shows more nutplates, on the other side of the firewall.
