Another very productive day at the hangar. I started today by installing the nine K1000-08D and two MS21055L08 (90 degree angled) nutplates to the F-01406B Bulkhead. Both types of nutplates accepted AN426AD3-3.5 flush rivets. The nutplates near the top edge of the Bulkhead were set with the hand squeezer. However, I need the pneumatic squeezer with the 3" yoke to reach the three in the middle.
After the nutplates were riveted, the F-01429-L & -R Bellcrank Ribs were riveted to the Bulkhead. The assembly used eight AN470AD4-4 universal rivets and two AN426AD4-4 flush rivets.
Next, all of the #40 holes in the F-01478 Bottom Skin were dimpled with the DRDT-2. I also completed all the edge work on the Bottom Skin. Here are a couple shots of the completed Skin.
