Brief Description:  Deburring & dimpling

Completed all the deburring and dimpling of the remaining fuselage components today. First thing I did was rivet together the seat belt brackets now that the various bits were primered. Notice how I have put little 'S'-bends into the brackets to accomodate the slightly wider attachments for the Hooker harnesses I'm using. I wasted half an hour while I tried to work out how to dimple the four #30 holes on the F-822 forward floor panel that sit immediately behind the landing gear weldment. No squeezer, or dimpling grips would fit in there. In the end I used a hammer and the C-frame arbor to create the dimple. Finally, I had forgotten to primer the two rows of countersunk #30 holes at the aft end of the F-822 forward floor panel where the center section gets attached, so I did that and left it for the evening.
