I completed the front seat-back by squeezing the remaining rivets with a friend's longeron yoke.

Next, I fitted and drilled the WD-814 rollover bar, then removed it de-burred all the holes. I also touched up the paint on one area of the bar where it had rubbed through and was showing bare steel. I also trimmed and deburred the F-8104 support rib for the rollover bar.

Next, I bent the F-881 mid-cabin covers and drilled and clecoed them in place. This allowed me to fit, drill and cleco all the front seat pan parts (F-879, F-880A and F-880Bs) in place. While I was dealing with the seat pan, I drilled out the inserts in the crotch strap on my Hooker harness. I'll replace these (somehow) with thinner inserts later.

I got my rudder pedal extensions back from the machine shop, where they'd been bent to about 15 degrees. (One was actually overbent a bit, so we bent it back slightly with a giant 50,000 lb. hydraulic press. Gotta love BIG power tools. Arrr. arrr.) I cleaned up the extensions and polished them, then filed and polished the rudder pedals. then I prepped and primed the contact surfaces of the two parts, and riveted everything together. I think they look really nice! It'll be a shame to powder coat them.

Finally, I began planning the installation of my Andair fuel selector.
