Firewall Finished

Yesterday I finished the firewall. I was able to back-rivet all but eight rivets. It turned out really nice. The rivets called for in the plans are too short though.

Here is a picture of the forward side of the firewall.


And the aft side.


Here is what I used for a back-riveting bar. I just had to make sure to keep it under the rivets.


Back-riveting gives really nice results.

I get to start on the center section next.

Working on the Firewall

Well, I got my hardware organized.


After that job was done, I started on the firewall. You have to fabricate several parts such as these angles.


The firewall assembled with clecos.



After I drilled everything out I took it apart so I could debur it. That is tomorrows job. Once I finish the firewall I'll post some more pictures.
