Well, Brit has been sick since Wednesday with a cold, and today was the worst so far. So I tended to her needs when needed, and worked the shop when she slept. I worked on the early firewall steps today by getting all of the stiffeners cleco'd to the firewall and drilled.
There are a few pieces that are not cleco'd at this point, but it was time to get out the Boelube and drill everything.
Next I made the F-601E stiffener that goes below the recess panel and drilled it and the F-601P spacers to the firewall.
The F-601J angles were next, but they required some clamping, spacing, and clamping again before they were drilled. The bottom of the angle needs to be 3/32's from the top of the bottom firewall stiffener, so some care needs to be taken to clamp it properly before drilling. Check, check, and check again...
Clamped...
...and drilled.
Tomorrow, I'll be deburring and prepping for primer.
