Seats And Supports
Riveted rear seat back support.
I bounced around a little bit this evening. I am still waiting for the fuel lines I ordered two weeks ago which I need to finish the fuel line routing in the cockpit. In the meantime, I'm looking for other things to get done.
First i put on the rudder cable exit fairings I had made a while back. I copied Sam Buchannans design I found on his sight. I used small blind rivets to attatch them and in hindsight would probably have been better off using larger 1/8" rivets. I also had a little interference between the tail of the rivets and the rudder cable clamp bracket inside the tail.
After that, I installed the adel clamps to hold the nylon tubing in place that guides the rodder cables through the last bulkhead and out through the fuselage skin.
Next I finished blind riveting the rear seat back support. Nothing tricky, just a lot of squeezing with the pop rivet tool.
