Today focuses on finalising some of the work I had already started but was waiting on parts.

First up is to rivet the throttle into place.

Next is to replace the 5/16″ bolts that were found to be damaged.

Once tightened the nuts are marked with torque seal to indicate any movement in service.

The canopy latch striker plates are riveted into place.

And the spring return plate is riveted into place and the spring connected.

The trim motors are normally riveted into place but I’ve decided to use an M3 bolt and nyloc bolt as it will be easier to change should there be a problem.

The wiring needs to be done next but I’ll leave that for another day.
