Section 28, Riveting the small things.

I riveted together the seat bracket subassemblies.  And spent a lot of time searching through the plans to try to make sense of things.

Section 28: Deburring, Drilling, Sealing

Randy spent a lot of time measuring and cutting this to the required shape. It’s enough to make you wonder why Van’s can’t manufacture it to that shape?

Here’s our fancy stainless steel heater control boxes.  We figured that since Van’s went through all the trouble of giving us a stainless steel firewall that we probably shouldn’t just put aluminum boxes in it.

We also ignored Van’s’s instructions about sealent, and opted for 3M Fireseal insteal of proseal on the firewall.  Seems more better.
