I am ready to start riveting the seat mod end caps to the F-705 bulkhead. I was kind of dreading this as the location and the configuration isn’t the best for getting great rivets. However it turned out to be not a big deal. I started bucking the rivets using the extra long rivet set and then finished setting using the alligator squeezer. The process was slow going, but the result is excellent.
Now that the end caps a partly riveted in place. I temporarily
installed the crossbar for the seat mod and installed the seat backs. I
fashioned up some crude hinge pins, but I will make a second (better
set). Looks pretty good. The clearance is good on the sides of the
fuse.
