Finished with brake line bracket: 3 hours

Yesterday I started making a small doubler for where the brake lines pass though the firewall. Today I finished it and got it primed and riveted on. This is the first riveting I have done on the fuselage!

I also got the firewall recess dimpled.

The firewall recess is installed later in the process to allow access to the rudder pedals etc.

I also have some new parts that showed up and Christmas presents!

Britt gave me a pair of Tosten stick grips for Christmas:

 

These are very nice units with trim switches and 4 other possible functions:

 

My new Garmin heated pitot / aoa tube showed up also. Very high quality item!
