Firewall work
I continued my work on the firewall with fabricating the recess cover plate. I don’t need the center recess with my engine so I just made a flat cover with some 26ga. stainless steel from Vans. This stuff isn’t fun to work with and will dull any tool that comes near it if you aren’t careful. I got to looking at the plans and noticed a rivet callout for an An436AD4-6! This is obviously a mistake on the plans and should be an AN426. I then moved on to deburring, machine countersinking, dimpling, and preparing all of the firewall parts (except for the stainless firewall itself) for primer. With a little primer, I’ll be ready to rivet things together.
