Still more forward cover work: 5.7 hours


  • Riveted plate nuts for forward cover to stainless firewall recess assembly - tight spacing and tricky
  • Deburred / cleaned up floor angles and firewall gusset
  • Drilled tunnel cover for plate nut rivets
  • Modified tunnel cover to allow for large wire bundles
  • Edge finished tunnel cover - this took a long time - lot's of small protrusions and different angles
  • Fitted and drilled cabin heat baffle to tunnel cover
  • Bent cabin heat tabs out on tunnel cover
  • Deburred, cleaned up, dimpled and primed tunnel cover
  • Riveted plate nuts to fuel pump mount and fuel valve cover
