Brief Description:  Firewall Updrill, Final Prep

Pressed hard to finish the firewall today. Yesterday my replacement center firewall stiffener arrived in the mail, so today I set about to fitting the gear gussets and the firewall stiffener doubler to the new center stiffener. Next, I drilled out the upper bearing for the nose gear which fits inside the top stiffener. Then I updrilled all the pilot holes to their final rivet size, trimmed some of the pieces to reduce their sharp angles, then took the whole thing apart. After about 2 hours of deburring, filing, and removing the factory labels, I had everything ready to paint with CORTEC corrosion control paint. Painting took about 5 minutes.

Tomorrow is a RIVET DAY!
