Number of Hours: 0.00
Manual Reference: 8-10 to 12
Brief Description: Centre Section

I had a local wood fabricator make up the hardwood spacers to simulate the spar and as you can see they did a great job getting the width spot on! I recommend that you install the AN470 rivets before the Forward Control Mount/Seat Belt Lug to ensure no interference with the squeezer. If you are installing the Rear Rudder Pedal Kit don't forget the nutplate holes to drill on the top plate (match drilled from the flange of F-804A)

Hardwood spacer - spot on!
