Yesterday, I treated the Nose Skin, Spar, and Outboard/Inboard Hinge Brackets with Alumiprep and Alodine. Today, I primed them with Akzo. The Nose Skin and Spar are shown below after being primed. The Inboard and Outboard Hinge Brackets will be discussed along with the second picture below.
In Part 16, I discussed how I messed up the Inboard/Outboard Hinge Brackets by countersinking them on the wrong side. As I mentioned, I ordered the new Brackets from Van’s and completed the prep work on them by priming them today. In the picture below, I have identified the newly completed Inboard and Outboard Hinge Brackets after being riveted to the their respective Main Ribs. Additionally, you can see the Doubler that was riveted to the Spar.
