Brief Description: Began riveting the tailcone
|
|
I have been just hitting the tailcone a lick here and there over the last month, been covered up with work, a good problem I guess. Been doing a lot of deburring, dimpling, priming, and in general getting ready to start riveting the tailcone together. Got my Brother in law, Bob, to help me most of the day with using Alumiprep and Alodyne on the side skins where there was a little fine corrosion along the cut edges of the sheets. Then got them dimpled and primed along the edges and ready to start assembly.
One of the tabs on the F712 bulkhead is a little cockeyed, and as a result the drill missed when drilling it in place. I decided to put another layer of sheet aluminum over it and the adjacent rivet, to "sandwich" the one with the hole in the edge. Had this rivet been by itself instead of just one in a row of 20 or so, I would have replaced the parts, but gut tells me this will work OK.
