Brief Description: Final preparations for riveting
This morning’s session was devoted to finishing up the forward fuselage wiring to facilitate next weekend’s top skin riveting.
Lots of odds and ends to finish: • Added screws attaching the fuse blocks to the sub panel • Attached the GDL 39R with six screws • Glued some edge protection along the base of the sub panel where there was possibility of contact with the wire bundle • Spliced a ground wire (Steinair left one ground wire much shorter than the others) and ran it through the bundle to the grounding block • Added a few zip ties here and there to tidy up the bundles • Put a standoff between the GTN 625 bundle and the RG-400 bundle for support
With that, I decided it was now or never…time to close this thing up!
