Vents, roll bar brackets

I had a little help from B today in installing the air vents.  It took a little assembly, unassembly to modify the slot enough so that the door would open and shut smoothly.  I then worked on the lower cowl hinge and riveted it to the fuselage. I received the #4-40 tap in the mail so I tapped the switch mount plate on the roll bar.  The roll bar brackets were then bolted to the fuselage and the roll bar was placed over the brackets. It is a tight fit.  The support frames were clecoed and the the roll bar brackets were match drilled from the roll bar.  I disassembled the roll bar brackets and primed them as per plans.

I prepared the parts for the baggage bulkhead and clecoed that nutplates and parts together. They will have to wait until next time to rivet them.

Time: 3.5
