Today’s work session started by separating and preparing the F-01467A Instrument Panel Angles. The picture below shows how the piece(s) comes from Van’s.....kinda looks like a fish!
Here are the two finished Angles after being separated, holes deburred and edges cleaned. They are now ready to be treated with Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo primer.
Moving on to the F-01467 Instrument Panel Frame. Just like the Angles above, the Instrument Panel Frame had the holes deburred and edges cleaned. Additionally, there were also ALOT of holes to countersink.....a lot of them! Most of the countersinks are for AN426AD3-3 rivets that will be used to attach nutplates to the frame. The prep work is now complete and the Frame is now ready for Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo primer.
I don’t think I previously mentioned it, but in Part 12 I treated several parts with Alumiprep and Alodine.....now it’s time to Akzo prime. These are the left and right Aft Canopy Decks.....
.....left and right Forward Canopy Decks.....
.....the Cable Support Bracket (top), Instrument Panel Attach Plates (middle), Wiring Channel (bottom).....
.....and the left and right Instrument Panel Attach Brackets.
