Not gonna finish assembly of the the F-705 until I get new seat belt brackets, so I moved on to the rest of the fuselage bulkheads.

Fabricated & match drilled various components for the F-706 bulkhead. Primed angle and stiffeners.

There are two places where you match drill a 1/4" hole through angle for the elevator bellcrank. I drilled these undersized with a U drill bit and then reamed to .2495.

Drilled all snap bushing holes in all aft bulkheads. Drilled optional mounting holes for static lines.

The ears on the curved portions have areas where they overlap. I trimmed and filed until the interference was relieved. Yes, that's a Revlon nail file. Been in my tool box for at least 10 years.

Deburred and relieved all edges.

None of these bulkheads had blue vinyl on them when I uncrated them. I'm guessing that it's something to do with how they're manufactured. For whatever reason, they all looked awful. Can't really call it corrosion, but discoloration, dull areas, etc. I was planning to only prime mating surfaces in the fuselage, but these are going to get he full treatment.
