Priming Left leading edge ribs - Finished stall warn assembly - 3.5 hours

I managed to spend a good amount of time in the garage tonight. I had set up the washtubs to use the Chem-brite 218 that I had bought a few weeks ago. The process was simple. Scuff with scotchbrite, wipe with MEK, Bath in Chem-brite, rinse, wipe with MEK and Prime. Sounds like a lot of steps but it's very quick and the chem-brite acid does a great job.






Now that the ribs are drying, I moved onto finishing the W-432 joint plate nutplate riviting. All went extremely well and quick.

Then...I was back riveting the stall warner assembly.

Assembly of the stall warner is a little tricky. you really have to pay attention to the washer thicknesses. It matters and on the first round I didn't get it right. So a quick disassemble and reassemble and I was finished.

It works pretty slick.
