Fuselage center section #81 - Forward upper fuselage part 3!




 
Prepping the upper firewall area.

Riveted this bracket onto the upper firewall.

Installed these nutplates.


Dimpled the lower flange per the KAI's.

More dimpling.

More nutplate riveting.

Next it gets riveted to the fuse with some sealant on the ledge.

After all the rivets, these final nuplates get installed.

The small hinges get match drilled.

Here is where I realized I made a mistake and riveted the spacer strip on the outside of the firewall when it was supposed to be on the inside between the firewall and this hinge.  I was able to fix it just fine.
