Title: Installing snap bushings on the ribs
Tonight's work session was a short one to just get the plastic snap bushings installed in the right wing ribs. These bushings will later protect the electrical wiring harnesses that power the wing tip lights and landing lights. All of the holes for these snap bushings had to be enlarged with a step drill bit, and in some cases a new hole had to be made as well. (It would be so much nicer if Van's could just pre-punch a small hole in all the wing ribs, and then people can just ignore them or use them, as appropriate.) A couple of the ribs needed a little touch-up of primer because they got smeared while the primer was still wet. I clecoed all of these ribs back into their correct places, and clecoed the ribs that had extras (flap hinge brackets or the torque tube assembly). What's next? Time to start riveting these things all together, starting with hand-squeezing the hinge brackets and torque tube assembly onto their respective ribs.
