Fuselage, MID Lower Structure (Part 4)

I’m still waiting for the appropriate weather conditions to prime, so in the meantime, I decided to look ahead in the plans and start to prep some additional pieces that will be utilized in the next few pages of the plans.  So, this session is primarily prepping pieces.....separating parts, sanding edges, deburring holes, etc.

To start, here are the F-14100 Routing Angles.  There were two strips of the Angles (6 individual pieces on each strip) and one of those strips is shown separated below.  

Here are all 12 of the angles separated, cleaned, and deburred.  They are now ready for Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo primer.

The F-01416A Seat Rib Doubler had to be be separated into -L & -R Doublers.  After being separated, here are the two pieces.  The holes have been deburred and the edges are cleaned.  Both pieces are ready to be treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo primer.

Lastly, shown below are the F-14142 Bushing Clips.  As with the other pieces, they came connected in a strip.  Once separated, there were eight individual Clips (shown below after being separated).....

.....and after they were cleaned and deburred.  They are now ready for Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo primer.
