||||||
| About 18 nutplates go on the F-704 bulkhead flanges. But it was an easy job. The nutplates riveted on nicely with the hand squeezer. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Next, I had to drill a couple of
large holes in the center of the bulkheads for snap bushings. Wires,
cables or something like that go through these holes. There was no
starter hole pre-drilled for some reason.

| Here is a shot of the forward bulkhead with the cover support brackets clecoed on. The cover support required some preparation work: drilling snap bushing holes, countersinking for nutplates, match-drilling to the bulkhead. I had to study the plans quite a bit; the instructions aren't very detailed anymore. | ||||||
