Moving on to Section 35: Upper FWD Fuselage. The first two parts to get attention in this section are the F-01456-L & -R FWD Fuse Ribs. Here they are as they came from Van’s with the blue plastic.....
.....and here are the two Ribs after being prepared. All the edges were cleaned, all the holes were deburred, and the appropriate #40 holes were dimpled.
Next, the F-01456A-L &- R were prepared. Again, here is how the part(s) come from Van’s.....
.....and after being separated, edges cleaned and holes deburred. None of the holes on these two parts needed to be dimpled.
Lastly, the two F-01456B Gas Spring Brackets had their edges cleaned and holes deburred.
All six parts are now ready to be treated with Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo primer......tomorrow.
