In Part 19, I mentioned the AN43B-16A Release Pins would be modified. The picture below shows the release pins after they were modified according to the plans. First, I used my cut off wheel to remove all up three threads. Then, I used a belt sander to taper the ends as shown below. Lastly, I used a Scotchbrite wheel to polish the ends as directed by the plans. I will prime the Release Pins in a later session.
These are the F-01471A Skin Doublers.
The four holes on each Doubler were countersunk for the head of an AN426AD2-2 rivet (these dudes are tiny)! Then, I separated the Doublers and cleaned the edges. They are ready to be treated with Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo Primer.
To go along with the Skin Doublers, the F-01471 Forward Top Skin was also countersunk for the same tiny AN426AD2-2 rivets. Here is one side of the Skin after being countersunk. The opposite side was completed the same way.
The are the F-14134A-L & -R Cowling Hinge Shims.
The were separated, holes deburred, and edges cleaned. They are also ready to be treated with Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo Primer.
