Brief Description: Attached stiffener and flow bracket (22-04)
I debated on which way to rivet the stiffener on, thinking that the flush side should be in the cabin, but after looking around and checking out my pictures from Oshkosh, it looks like everyone has the flush side in the engine side. Even the factory built RV-12 have the flush rivet head on the engine side, so I did the same. Although I had already riveted the two holes for the floor to the firewall with the flush side in the cabin. I'll drill them out if it’s an issue later on. Also I guess I did it out of habit, but I buffed up and primed the stiffener, not thinking about the fact that it’s on the engine side. I may have to remove later and coat with some high temp paint. The flo-scan bracket was no issue and it looks like I have the FT-60 style flow meter, which I circled in the manual. With Benjamin's help I started attaching the fwd section to the main body. Many of the holes in the hard to reach areas had to be reamed a little to get the rivet, so it took some time to twist and work the reamer with my fingers for the tunnel attachment.
