I got the cooling ramp glued and riveted today so that's a bonus. I started the day by making sure the cooling ramp was completely deburred. There were a few spots around the roll that needed a little more attention. Then it was all about the mental walk through of the steps I would take from laying the fire barrier sealant down to figuring out which rivets to pull first. At this point all of the rivets are blind rivets as there is no access to most of the rivets. But the ones in the firewall and floor/cooling ramp, where there is access - are going to be stainless steel for added fire protection - so they will also be pull rivets.
I started with the sealant / glue / fire barrier (pic #1) then slid the cooling ramp in place and started pulling rivets from the aft end moving forward. There is still one rivet I need to pull but I need some help on that one. There are two places up in the aft end of the cooling ramp where the "wings" end and the curve of the bottom skins - there is a small gap there so I filled in / caulked it closed with the fire barrier (might be able to see it a little in the top of pic #3).
