The front deck is the part of the cabin between the instrument panel and the firewall. The instrument panel is normally bolted to two ribs and all the structure is rigidified via a three part subpanel. The first job is to cut and drill a few small angles. Here are two on the right side.



Then three length of small aluminium have to be cut, they will be riveted to the subpanels. They will be used to insert a seal between the canopy and the subpane.



her a picture of the angle on the sub panel



At the rear of the instrument panel an aluminium angle has to be riveted. This rather thick angle has to be cut and bended to conform the contour of the panel. I still have all the deburring to do!!!!!!



Here the upper skin is just installed to see the fit, I'll have to roll it a bit.
