Upon return from AirVenture 2018, I began assembling parts for the trim mount bracket. These parts were alodined in an earlier batch, but needed to be primed before riveting.
The pushrod ends and small parts for the trim mount bracket were primed using PPG DP40LF with an old airbrush I had acquired almost 40 years ago. The amount of paint applied is very easy to control and the very low volume in the paint bottle was perfect for this small batch. The idea is prime just those parts touching one another with the airbrush, rivet, then prime the larger external surfaces of the whole assembly with the regular spray gun.
The trim mount parts were clecoed together prior to rivet assembly. A pneumatic squeezer with a longeron yoke was needed due to geometry requirements to reach the Trim Cable Anchor Brackets.
Here are the riveted Trim Mount Bracket Assembly and the Trim Servo Links. The next actions were to continue work on the secondary battery mounting platform, battery contactor mount brackets, and the ELT device mount.
