Floor installation
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:38 pm
We are at the point of installing the floor from baggage area to the
elevator pulleys. I sure wish MAM had suggested leaving out the center
three rivets in the pattern of nine that join the lower bulkhead quarters
under the floor. It would mean a much easier installation as now we will
have to drill out those center rivets to add the right angle clips which
brace the ST-31 floor support channels. The existing drilling may not suit
the required clip locations.
For those of you planning on installing the floor I suggest leaving out
those center rivets until floor installation and catching the bulkhead and
clips on each side with one set of three rivets.
