Fuselage March 2005 Updates March 10, 2005 704 Bulkhead Looks like Dave is off the hook. I drilled out JB Weld holes and re-riveted. Came out pretty good. Moving onto the 704 bulkhead. I cut out the 2 web stiffener braces from 3/4 inch angle. I clamped the angle in place on the front 704A piece and match drilled. Next I removed and deburred in preperation for drilling the nutplace holes. Clecoed the nutplates into the center hole and drilled #40 holes for flush rivets. Deburred and countersunk. Ready for rivets. Going to checkout Mr. Checkways website for next process. This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft.
