Fuselage center section #24 - Seat rib area assembly

 More seat rib area assembly!

Got to the point of riveting and bolting this attach bracket to the rib and found out that I got out over my ski's a bit by installing this nutplate before I was told to.  No way to get this screw in with the nutplate installed so I had to drill it out.

Nutplate removed.

Screw installed.

Nutplate replaced.

Flap motor bracket installed.

Reinforcement brace installed.

Mixer assembly going in.

Crotch strap anchor points going in.

Both subassemblies done.

Missed prepping a few parts so I went ahead and got them ready to prime.  Had to cut two parts out of this thing.

Removing all the excess flashing.

Deburred the seat pans.

Dimpled as required the seat pans.

 Started assembling all the parts that were prepped and primed for the seat rib area:

Seat back angle adjust brackets get assembled.

And then riveted to the proper ribs.  Make sure you have the correct orientation and the correct rib!

Then the seat belt attach points get riveted to the same ribs.

And finally a couple attach brackets.

 And even more edge cleanup and deburring of the parts.  Mostly the ribs tonight.  Got them all done and now will try to get them primed tomorrow after work.  There are a ton of parts in this batch....most are small and then the 8 ribs will take some time to etch, scrub, dry and prime.

 No pictures just tons and tons of cleaning up part edges and deburring holes.
