Title: 33-4: Baggage floor work
Wanted to wrap up the step access panels so that meant progressing the baggage floor. Spent a little time cleaning up the openings that I had cut previously just to get them more uniform. Used the dremel with a sanding drum. Fabricated all the baggage floor stiffeners. Fabricated the filler plates that would be needed to mate up with the access panel rings. Then prepped and primed the baggage floor parts. Planned to use Ekoprime on everything but ran out and finished the top surface of the floor pans with Ekopoxy. 8/27: dimpled the floor pans and back-rivetted the stiffeners to the baggage floor. In trying to confirm which holes are dimpled and not, I looked at the side panel. I knew it would go over the access panels, but was thinking it was screwed in place. It gets riveted and even has a rivet in the middle of the access plate. I think I can replace that rivet with a screw and the access plates will just have to slip under the side panels. It will work. Just hope I'm actually able to get the step bolts out if I ever have to. Should have clocked them both 45 degrees. Also found that one of the side panel rivets is coincident with a floor stiffener rivet. It's the same rivet that is coincident with the access panel backup plate. Left that rivet out for now.
