Brief Description:  Rivet 1: Outbd Seat Ribs to Skin

Okay, I'm ready to rivet some parts, but it is prior to the first rivet instruction in the plan which starts with riveting the gusset. But I'm going to list in chronological order the things I riveted. And if I later have an issue I will come back to these entries and point out the problem.

I decided to rivet on the outboard seat ribs while the mid-fuselage is stand alone assembly. I riveted it to only the bottom skin and the aft bulkhead. Recall the aft bulkhead also uses one bolt with a spacer. I installed and torqued this as well. But I installed it backwards from the drawings so that the nut doesn't interfere later with riveting the cargo ribs and floor.
