Brief Description: Started work on header tank access coverings
I felt that I needed better access to the plumbing near the header tanks than is provided thru the hell hole. I had earlier fabricated some extra access covers for this eventuality, so I marked and drilled the nutplate holes.
I should have thought of this a lot earlier, but I cut the opening size in one of the covers and added nutplate ear holes for positioning the A3 rivets. Using this template, I can quickly lay out the pattern for any additional access openings I may need. This made things a lot easier as it took some contortions to work on the baggage back without damaging the lower floor structure which doesn't yet have the panels in place.
