Riveted firewall recess and installed rudder pedals / brake lines: 6 hours

The following items were done over several days:

  • Riveted firewall recess panel - this took a while but turned out well. There were a few tight spots for the rivet gun and the stainless is always difficult to work with.
  • Installed rudder / brake pedal assembly.
  • Installed Bonaco brake lines and elbow fittings. I used a small amount of Loctite 567 to seal the pipe thread fittings - as recommended on Vans Air Force forums.
