Installing the nutplatesTimer icon1.5h

August 19, 2023

The next step was to install the nutplates to the F-706 bulkhead assembly.

This was a long a tedious process. For each of the screw hole, I had to screw the nutplate on the front side, drill the holes, then countersink them for the NAS1097AD3 rivets, and, finally, rivet the nutplate.

The nutplates are installed.

Other small thing I did was to cut the slots in the F-652 panels.

Cutting the slots on the F-652.

And now the panels can be installed with the screws!

Panels can be screwed now!
