Today I continued work on the forward middle bulkheads
I started the day off countersinking holes in the aft center section bulkheads
Next I prepped the remaining parts of the middle bulkhead for priming
Bearing bracket countersunk and ready for priming Parts primed Riveted the nutplates onto the aft center section bulkhead Riveted the side angles onto the aft center section Riveted the bearing bracket together Riveted the bearing bracket and nutplates to the cover ribs
Today I started working on the forward mid fuselage bulkheads. Some of the steps required the use of a reamer, both a .311 and .375 reamer. I missed that when reviewing tools to buy for fuselage work. Luckily McMaster-Carr is open on Saturdays for a half day. $45 and 1 hour hour drive later I was back in business.
