During the last session, I treated the Step Attach Rib Doublers and Step Attach Ribs with Alumiprep and Alodine. After allowing them to dry overnight, I sprayed them with Akzo primer this afternoon. Here are the six pieces after letting the primer dry.
I riveted the four Doublers to the Ribs as shown below. The four Doublers took 20 AN470AD3-3 rivets (10 on each Rib). The manufactured heads are shown on the left and the shop heads on the right. Each one of the Ribs also had two K1000-08D nutplates installed with two AN426AD3-3.5 rivets.
During this session, I also prepared the last few parts and pieces for this section. These pieces came in one connected piece from Van’s known as the F-01458AB Side Brackets. They were separated into F-01458A-L & -R (small ones) and F-01458B-L & -R (large ones). All the edges were cleaned, holes deburred and dimpled.
These are the F-01458-L & -R Side Frames. They have had their edges cleaned, holes deburred and dimpled.
The last piece in this section to be prepared was the F-01430 Baggage Floor Stiffener. The edges were cleaned, holes deburred and dimpled.
The seven pieces prepared today are ready to be treated with Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo Primer. I will do this during the next work session.
