Brief Description: 2: Drilled baggage wall for air pass thru
I sanded down the duct to fit and take off the rough parts of the resin. I dilled some pilot and mounting holes for the doubler that will hold the elbows used to direct the air. I match drilled this to the baggage wall and opened up the holes to accept the elbows. After test fitting the doubler I determined I need to stand the elbows out from the wall. I needed to find a way to hold them in position while the resin I plan to use sets up. What I came up with was to use rubber o-rings, one on each side of the doubler. I will remove the o-ring that faces the wall after the epoxy sets up, the other will be glued over. I thought of using this method with no epoxy that way the elbows could swivel but I am thinking the epoxy will be more secure and no o-ring to come loose, and more air tight.
After drilling a couple more mounting holes for the doubler I dimpled the holes in the wall and doubler. The doubler is now ready for epoxy but I ran out of steam and plan to do that tomorrow.
