Apr 29, 2024 4 Skybolt Flanges Category: Firewall
Spent the day putting the Skybolt flanges onto the firewall. They had to be bent a certain amount (some of them, not all). I put a spacer underneath them - .032". I was able to mount the Skybolt fastener on all but two of them - I used two more than planned on the belly - 3 per side, rather than 2, so I was short two on the upper firewall. They are all clecoed in place except for the lowest two on each side. I riveted the bottom one in completely and the one above it is half riveted in ( I have to wait for the upper fuselage skin before I can do the other rivets).
Now I think I can put the engine mount back on - I had to take it off in order to attach the lower flanges.
Oh yeah, the reamer came in the mail today - except it is a #15 reamer and not a 5/16" reamer. Had to send it back.
