Jun 04, 2023     705 bulkhead - (5 hours)       Category: Fuselage
More work to the 705 bulkhead. Installed the seatbelt brackets. I also trimmed them after a trial cleco of the seat ribs. Honestly this was a little trickier than I thought it was going to be and the inboard right bracket came out a little crooked and will most likely have to be trimmed a bit more on the bottom later on. I also purchased a brake so that I could bend the top portion that slides under the angle. The brake made this a non event. I fully recommend buying a cheapy like I did from HF.

I also drilled the holes on the rear angle piece, I forget the part number currently. I got a little happy with the new rivet fan I purchased and drilled twice as many holes as I was suppose to(17 instead of 9). I should have skipped a hole every time, oops. I called vans and asked if this was ok and the answer was yes, it's fine, “I over engineered it and made a bit more work for myself, but it won't be a structural issue at all”. Excellent, no harm no foul, build on! Everything drilled, disassembled, deburred and primed.
