Brief Description: Rivet upper and lower fuselage side channels
29-16, Steps 5 & 7
Rivet the upper flange of the F-1040 Upper Fuselage Channels to the F-1 001 B Firewall Upper Angle and WD-1002 Upper Firewall Brackets. Rivet the lower flange of the upper fuselage channels to the upper firewall brackets. Rivet both the upper and lower flanges of the F-1041 lower Fuselage Channels to the WD-1 003 lower Firewall Brackets. I’m having difficulties with the rivet on the bottom of the upper firewall bracket that is closest to the firewall. When I fubar’d one of the rivets attempting to squeeze it, I decided it was time to stop for the evening.

Left upper firewall bracket and side channel
