Boot cowl to firewall

 I worked on drilling the holes that attach the firewall to the boot cowl. I used the lower cowling to estimate where the larger holes go for the screws. 

Merry Christmas to me!

 I purchased some "pre-loved" avionics for the Project. 

There are two AV-30C's (AI & DG) and an Electronics international CRG-30 engine monitor. 

 

Panel work continues

Well it's a blank canvas to start a new panel and there is plenty of room for the lightweight new E.I. Instruments. 

 

BootCowl work

I had some time this weekend to work on the boot cowl. I have been mocking it up for some time, but I had not yet committed to drilling holes.

Well Got the doors dry fitted and finally drilled holes for where the bootcowl secures to the door frame. 

Next I need to work on the Bootcowl to Firewall. Im assuming there is a fire proof material or sealant that goes between that. Greg Lucas suggested ProSeal. 

 

Panel and cowling work.

 This weekend I had a few minutes to play with the panel. I measured the holes for the glove boxes that I will eventually build. 

I also messed with the trim pieces for the windshield. This is part of dry fitting everything for the boot cowl and windshields. I need to ensure that everything is right before I drill the first hole, because once that hole is drilled, Im commiting to these boot cowlings that I have made.
