Drilled and filed the F-634 seat-belt anchors. This should have been a relatively simple task, but do not underestimate my ability to turn a simple task into a major operation. The problem here, is that each set of anchors consists of a left and right side piece. The holes for the seat belts do not line-up for each piece, so I tried to make them fit better. In the end, the best approach is to align each anchor with the bottom of the F-705B Center Section Bar, and just drill them.
| Here, you can one part drilled, and the other part aligned with the first. When you slide a bolt through the holes for the seat belt it is cock-eyed. |
| I didn't like this, so I decided to fix the problem. I drilled the second anchor a little higher, so the bolt was straight. |
| Of course, now, the two anchors were not even, and I decided this really looked bad. So, I removed the first anchor and drilled another anchor, so both parts were aligned. |
| So, now, each set of anchors are aligned, but one set is about an eighth-of-an-inch higher than all of the others. Like I said, just align all of the anchors along the bottom of F-705B. |
| All done. It's really not that bad. |
| When you are done drilling all of the anchors, you need to trim a couple of them, so they do not sit under a rib. Cleco the rib on, and mark the anchor. |
| The anchor should sit next to the rib, not under it. |
| All of the parts are drilled, and the doublers are all deburred, and polished. |
| Since my empennage and wing parts were corroding out under the tarp, I decided to store them inside. This is my solution. The alierons and flaps are thin enough to clear the garage door when it is opened. |
| The elevators needed to be further in from the front of the garage. |
| The vertical stabilizor all by itself. |
