The forward lower fuselage was completed today with the help of N and B. We started by attaching the pedal support channels and nutplates to the firewall shelf. With extra hands we went back to section 21 to install the system block studs. We had tried to install before, but ended up breaking a stud. I ordered a new wrench and they installed without any problem.
We then had our first time using fuel tank sealant to install the firewall shelf. I mixed a little by hand and placed in a syringe. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The shelf was installed without problem.
The bracket that attaches on the tunnel rib was then prepared, primed and installed. The diagonal brace was installed on the firewall bottom. The forward lower fuselage was then attached to the remaining fuselage.
Time: 2.75 hrs
