<\/a>A few miscellaneous parts were also painted last week.\u00a0 Here the outer baggage door panel is riveted onto the frame.\u00a0 Eric helped by driving from the exterior side, while I bucked from the inside.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The next step is fit 1″ sound damping insulation, then pop rivet the inner panel to the frame.\u00a0 Last step will be install the door lock\/latch, but this will be after the cabin door hardware is acquired.<\/p>\n<\/a>Saturday morning saw foam soundproofing material installed with contact cement. Rich had cut these several months ago on a previous visit.\u00a0 The directions say let sit for 15 minutes before bonding the two surfaces, but this caused instant adhesion between the parts and some mis-aligned panels until I figured it out.\u00a0 For this foam material\/ cement combination the best approach is put a thin coat on the plane, followed quickly by the foam – then immediately fit together.\u00a0 This leaves the contact cement just a bit slippery and able to slide just a little, enough to help position the panels better.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Here are views for the side panels and underneath the rear floor panel. All is not pretty, but not to worry.\u00a0 All the foam installed so far is covered by another interior panel and will not be visible.\u00a0 I hope the sound-dampening effect proves worth the effort involved.<\/p>\n<\/a>Okay, interior painted and foam applied.\u00a0 Now fit the rear seat panels and rivet in place.\u00a0 The photo shows thin plastic cutting boards ($8 for 5 sheets from Amazon) used to protect the side wells from being scratched by the panel on insert.\u00a0 This worked great and no damage was done.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Floor panel is clecoed into place, then the floors pop riveted to the ribs underneath.\u00a0 I used a pneumatic riveter borrowed from Tal for the cheap ones with easy access.\u00a0 More expensive, but delightfully easy to use, CherryMAX CR3213-04-02 rivets were installed in the difficult corners with the offset head on the 704B riveter.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>The left picture shows the completed floor\/rib rivets, while the right picture shows the fully completed effort. The plastic cutting sheets were used to protect the floor as the side rivets were installed.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Floor panels complete, now cut and install MS21266 nylon edging grommet material on the bulkheads where power wires, antennas, and static tubes will be run.<\/p>\n<\/a>The main event – installing the 5\/8″ ID black conduit.\u00a0 The prepared holes in the seat panel are first threaded with conduit.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Then the conduit is run through the interior rib, and out the lightning hole under the baggage floor.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>The conduit is then fastened to anchor points with 0.010″ fiberglass cable lace.\u00a0 Again not the prettiest outcome, but seems to hold everything together quite well.<\/p>\n<\/a>Using the packing peanut \/ fishing line \/ suction method, 2mm paracord is pulled through the installed conduit and tied to the bulkheads. These cords will later be used for pulling wires under the rear seat and under the baggage compartment.\u00a0 Once the seat panels are riveted in-place, no more access will be available.<\/p>\n<\/a>Finally for this week, I started hand riveting the side floor angles.\u00a0 Once these are done, the baggage floor can be permanently attached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
