After painting the cargo bulkhead, I riveted the wear blocks. Easy job here. Then I screwed the bulkhead to F706 bulkhead temporarily, just to realized that I missed the third nutplate on the F706 bulkhead vertical support. I drilled the third hole at the centerline somehow. I must misread the drawing. Anyway, I just mixed some JB weld and filled the hole. I will drilled the third hole at right place after the JB weld cured.Then I installed Vans static ports. I wasn't sure if I need pull the pop rivet or just glue them to the fuselage. I figured if I pull the rivet, the protruded head will be short and fat, the clear plastic tube will have a hard time to slip in. Since I mixed JB weld alread to fill the holes on the cargo bulkhead, I decided I will just glue the pop rivet for static port to the fuselage using JB weld. This should be strong enough.
While waiting for the JB weld to cure, I moved onto the aft seat floor. I cut and drilled the hinges to the seat floor. Everything looks good here.
