Brief Description:  Fuse Bay Relay Mount (cont)

I completed the top bracket for the relay board. My suspicion was confirmed when I placed the fuse bay brackets into the fuselage and found I had to shift the top attach bracket over 1/16 inch outboard due to it pushing out the relay board. I had to remake the bracket and redrill it's location. I finally got it fitting really good and got the hole for the attach screw located and the nutplate installed.

With the relay board mount system completed, I decided there was no good reason not to rivet the fuse bay brackets into the fuselage. So I set about setting the rivets. It has been quite a while since using the rivet gun and bucking bar to rivet....so I took a little extra time to get the rivets in and set.....but now the fuse bay is done.

Good start to the New Year of building. 2020 was the most hours of buid time yet!
