Brief Description:  Finished riveting F-705; prep rest of the blkhds

Finished riveting F-705 components. Decided to fire up the rivet squeezer again. Using the correct length of rivet sets (with AN960-10 and -10L washers as req'd) is the key to get a perfect squeeze. Had the work secured to the bench so the set on the factory head can be carefully aligned, then teased the trigger to moved the plunger without setting the rivet for final alignment check. Pull the trigger wide open and viola! This thing works great!

Touched-up the edges of the modified seat-belt anchors with Van's powder-coat touch-up paint and bolted them permanently onto F-705, marking the AN3 nuts with Torque-Seal after 25 in-lb applied with my CDI clicker wrench.

Edge finished all of the remaining bulkheads (706, 707, 708, 709, 710, 711, 712), drilled for electrical feedthrus and static lines, made misc brackets and angles as call for in DWG 21. Washed & etched the parts.
