Got some questions.
Here's how I interpret or don't interpret MAM's instructions for the float
h.p. installation from manual 07/27/94 for the Rebel:
Steps 1-5 concern themselves with making a hole in the rolled corner for
the
float bracket to stick through. Done that.
6-8 I drilled holes in the bracket through the original bulkhead 'A'.
9-14 I nested two additional bulkheads together, reversed them and drilled
holes through them from bulkhead 'A' and the bracket.
15 I've postponed riveting the bracket to the three bulkheads.
16 drilled holes at the top of the two nested float bulkheads
17 postponed riveting these together
18, 19 MAM says to drill holes through the 'new' bulkhead flange into the
sides, corners, and floor. Is 'new' the doubled float bulkheads?
20 made a cover strip for the three bulkheads
21 'Drill and rivet into the flanges of the bulkheads....' Is this about
connecting the strip to the three bulkheads?
So it seems that the nested float bulkheads are riveted to the sides,
corners,
and bottom skins. They are also riveted to bulkhead 'A' at their tops
directly
as well as indirectly at the rolled corners via the float bracket.
I have nearly completed the framework for the inner floor. Could I at this
time attach the floor channel brackets to the nested float bulkheads? Where
and when do I attach the floor inner panel (fus 41) and the floor corner
wraps
(fus 33)? To the float bulkhead or bulkhead 'A' or both?
I don't see any drilling or riveting between Bulkhead 'A' and the fuselage
skins. I assume this will come later.
Phew!! (That came out of my lungs, not the lower gastrointestinal tract!) I
think that does it. Really appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Dan
