This evening I
continued to work on the rear baggage bulkhead modification. I prepped the square back-up plate by
drilling the holes for the nut plates. I
used the countersink to prep the holes for flush rivets. As mentioned before, I will need corner nutplates
for the top and bottom of the long leg.
I ordered some corner nutplates from Van's this afternoon. I hope to have them by sometime next week. I riveted the 6-K1000-8 nutplates to the aft
side of the back-up plate. I will rivet
the corner nutplates when they arrive.
Next I cut the
bulkhead panel into 2-pieces with the bandsaw.
I deburred and cleaned up the edges.
I then clecoed the small corner piece to the backup plate and used a
couple of screws to attach the larger portion.
It fits and seems to work. After I
rivet the corner nutplates in place on the backup plate I will rivet the corner
piece to the backup plate. I don't want
to do that until the corner nutplates are riveted on.
