As promised in the previous post, here is the F-01405L Bulkhead Angle (left), shown with the F-01405E-L & -R Idler Brackets after getting treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo Primer.
Here is another picture of the Idler Brackets with the trimmed VA-146 Bearing.....also after being treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo Primer. You can also see the two K-1000-08D nutplates installed on each of the Brackets.
Shown below is the F-01405L Bulkhead Angle riveted into place on the F-01405 Bulkhead using eight AN470AD4-4.
Shown below is the Idler Brackets riveted together with the VA-156 Bearing in between. This view shows the manufacture heads of the rivets (and small smiley).....
.....and the shop head side of the rivets.
The two pictures below aren’t part of the MID Lower Structure section. However, it only took about 3 minutes to prime these ends, so I included them here. Since I already had some Akzo Primer mixed up, if figured this would be an appropriate time to prime them. To do so, I removed the stop nut and bearing from each end, taped off the end, and sprayed the primer. Pretty easy and pretty quick! This is one end of the Torque Tubes.....
.....and this is the other end.
