*****The work during this session was completed yesterday....Monday, May 6*****
Now that everything is primed up.....time to start riveting it together. The small Ribs shown below are the F-01423B-L & -R Outboard Baggage Ribs and the F-01423C Rib Doublers riveted together. The large Ribs are the F-01425-L & -R Baggage Ribs and the F-01425A Rib Doublers riveted together. All #40 holes on both Ribs were riveted and received AN470AD3-3 rivets.....all were set with a pneumatic squeezer. I tried using the hand squeezer, but wasn’t happy with the results....go figure. The pneumatic did a much better and consistent job.
The picture below is a little busy. Pictured are the four -L Seat Ribs (the -R Seat Ribs were completed the same way). Each Rib has four K1000-08D nutplates on the upper ramped flanges and four Bushing Clips on the middle lightening hole. The third Rib down has two Routing Angles attached on the web and the bottom Rib has one Seat Rib Doubler attached on the right side. These pieces were riveted together using a combination of AN470AD3-3, AN426AD3-3, and AN470AD4-4 rivets. I used the pneumatic squeezer to set all of these rivets, except the Routing Angle on the right. Because of it’s location, I didn’t have a yoke long enough to reach the rivets. So, I had to shoot these with the gun and bar.
