Brief Description: Rivet Part 13 Left Inlet Floor Support to Baffles
I shouldn't have pre-drilled the top flange of the attach bracket for part 13 on the bench. The holes didn't align well with the brackets already in place (F1A and F1B). I had to drill out one of the rivets for the F1A bracket since it interfered with the part 13 attach angle. The pre-drilled holes in the attach bracket for part 13 ended up working out ok but I had to also drill a fifth hole where all 3 parts overlapped - F1A, top flange of Part 13 attach bracket, and the inlet floor. I also had to use 2 Cherry Max rivets in riveting part 13 to the inlet floor because of the awkward bends of the floor and how close this bracket is to the vertical front bulkhead. If I had drilled the top flange of the part 13 attach bracket in assembly I could have used solid rivets.
Once the floor support bracket was riveted to the left front inlet corner, the entire assembly was then reinstalled on the engine.
