Fuselage, MID Lower Structure (Part 13)

I was able to finish priming the remaining parts today, so here they are after drying.  I put the pictures below in the same order as I do for Part 10 after being treated with Alumiprep and Alodine.

These are the eight F-01480 Seatbelt Attach Lugs.....

.....the four F-14128 Seat Belt Lug Brackets and two F-01424-L & -R Baggage Ribs.....

.....the two F-01427-L & -R Baggage Ribs (on the top) and the two F-01426-L & -R Baggage Ribs (on the bottom).....

.....and the two F-01415-L & -R Outboard Seat Ribs (on the top) and two F-01423A-L & -R Outboard Baggage Ribs (on the bottom).

Now, it’s time to start putting stuff together.  Since the parts have been primed, I can go back a few step and install the eight K1000-08D nutplates (circled below) on the two Outboard Seat Ribs.

The next step is to cleco the F-01480 Seat Belt Attach Lugs and the F-14128 Seat Belt Lug Brackets to the F-01424-L &- R and F-01427-L & -R Baggage Ribs.  Pictured below are the F-01424 Baggage Ribs with Seat Belt Attach Lugs and Brackets clecoed into place.....

.....and the F-01427 Baggage Ribs with the Seat Belt Attach Lugs and Brackets clecoed into place.  These Ribs will also have three F-14100 Routing Angles attached to each one.  You can see them clecoed in place in the web of the top Rib.



I will start installing the associated rivets during the next work session.
