Riveting the Aft Deck/F-709 Bulkhead and drilling Shoulder Harness Anchors - 4.5 hours

 Spent the morning riveting the aft deck to the fuselage. Used a combination of bucking and squeezing. Took some time but I eventually got there.


 Now I am ready to fit and rivet the F-709 bulkhead to the aft deck. Bit of head scratching to figure out how to place the factory rivet head to the aft so it looks good. I ended up using my super long rivet set which does and excellent job of riveting.

Now I am ready to start the initial fitment of the F-775 rear top skin. This allows me to mark the appropriate holes on the F-709 bulkhead enough to give me an idea of where I need to flute.

 


Still on a bit of a roll. I moved on to the F-636 Shoulder Harness Anchors. After careful marking and placement I drilled the holes slightly undersized and then finished with the reamer.
