On a side note. The spring pin in my back rivet set broke. I’ll have to find a new spring pin to fix it and it appears to be an odd size - 7/64", not going to be easy.

More assembly of firewall #2 - 2 hours
I’ve come to the dreaded F-601J angles. I sure didn’t like riveting these on the first firewall. I really don’t like how close the inboard rivets sit in the inside radius of the angle. Not an easy rivet job. A combination of gun/backing bar and my shaved down backrivet set did the trick. Unfortunately I’m short on AD-9 rivets, so I’ll put in an order to Aircraft Spruce for more of those.
