Riveted Side Vents Installed Cowl Hinges

 
This morning I assembled the vents.  I then riveted them into the left and right sides of the fuselage.
 
This afternoon I cut some hinge material and some .020" aluminum strip to the proper length (10") and clamped them in place on the front of the fuselage.  I then match drilled the #30 holes in the fuselage side skins and lower firewall into the hinges and the spacers.
 
I riveted these components to the forward fuselage.  This completes section 25.
