Brief Description:  Forward Baggage Cover Panel #16

Tonights session was installing the panel with all the screws and checking that all aligned properly and everything fit well. All looked good and went together well.

I removed the panel and decided to add a #6 nutplate and make the hinge pin with a loop at the end to put a screw and keep the hinge pin from working out during opening and closing the door. I was able to use a nearby rivet hole and turn it into a screw hole. I drilled the nutplate rivet holes and all will be riveted in place in final assembly of riveting the three panels together.

I disassembled the panels and prepped the top panel and door for priming and painting with a good scotchbright pad followed by Stewarts Eco-clean and Eco-etch and hung them to dry.

Later in the evening I went out and shot primer on the parts.

I will not be able to work on the project next week....so at least the primed parts will be good and dry for topcoat.
