Brief Description:  Gear Tower - Assembly #7

Good session this morning even if most of it was making up for the mistake noted in the previous entries. I riveted the corner angles back on and replaced the bolts and torqued them to 40 in/lbs and put thread-locker on each one (mostly so I know they got torqued). I then cleco'd the towers to the forward floor plan per the plans. Next step was start riveting the F-822 box weldments to the tower forward and aft bulkheads - see photos. I squeezed all of the ones I could reach with the pnuematic squeezer, the rest I will have to shoot with the rivet gun and bucking bar.
