| More deburring / plenum finishing, starting with the countersinking of the hinge for skin dimples this morning. I'm trying to continue with flush (AN426) rivets on the inner surface of the plenum where possible. | 
|
| Then I moved onto one of the problems left with the plenum. The fuel divider is too high for the top center surface. I'm guessing there is only about 3/8" maximum to the cowl so getting another surface between them is going to be challenging. | 
|
| First up I slotted the mounting bracket for the divider - this gains us about 3/16" which is a good start. | 
|
| Then I marked and drilled a small location where the interference was. | 
|
| This was then progressively enlarged with a half round to get a mini-cut out. | 
|
| Meanwhile, after looking at the mini-baffle over the oil cooler we dicded it was going to need too much 'filler' on a couple of corners so Dad made the 3rd bracket...... | 
|
| This one fitted nice and tight and the remaining rear brace was drilled to it. |
