| Brief Description: |
Rivet stiffiners and wrap both rear floor skins |
|
|
After clecoing the stiffiners into place and confirming that I can install both skins with the stiffiners riveted to floor skins. I back riveted the 6 stiffiners remaining to finish all of the stiffiners. The instruction set leads me to believe I should wait on these stiffiners until the floor is set into place and ready to rivet to ribs and nutplates. However, I don't see how you can rivet the stiffiners unless I pop-rivet them instead of solid rivets? (I guess worst case I'll be removing wrapping material and drilling out the rivets for a bunch of stiffiners.) After riveting the stiffiners into place I applied the Graphite 1080 vinyl wrap to the floor skins. Using a sodering iron I melted out the rivet holes and holes for the nutplates that attach to the skin and the skin to the floor ribs. ( I'll have to apply a small piece fo vinyl wrap to teh remaining hinge bracket once the floors are riveted into place. |
