Despite the very cold very we installed the antenna doublers. Sabine did a great job with the rivet gun and it took no time to set all the rivets.

After some workshop cleaning, I installed the four nutplates for the GPS antennas' shelve.



I also installed some nutplates on the upper firewall angle. This is to install some clamps for the wire routing.

I fabricated the bracket for the GPS antennas. It's more like metal work than wiring. Both antennas (EFIS and Garmin GPS) will be installed on a small shelf in fornt of the firewall. After two tries, the end product looks quite good ands seems strong enough.



The shelve is clecoed to the firewall, netx task will be to install some nutplates.

Finished fabricating the antennas doublers, as usual deburring, countersinking,etc...
I also primed the two doublers, leaving some portions un painted to get a good ground contact with the fuselage skin.

The transponder and VHF antenna are installed under the belly. The transponder antenna will be near the left fuel vent exhaust. This is inside the fuselage, behind the left rudder pedals with a small circular doubler.



This is the antenna outside.



The VHF antenna is under the right seat in the outer bay.



This si the doubler that will be riveted to the rib and to the fuselage skin.
I still have to deburr all the holes, countersink the doublers and dimple the skin.
