Unfortunately, the sidepanels didn’t fit perfectly at the forward ends.

It will not really be visible as it is behind the instrument panel, but to better support the panel, I decided to make extensions.

Riveting them in place, after primer.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The panel is much better supported now. Hopefully some more silver paint will make the gap look a little better.

To install the stick boots, I had to make alu attach brackets. I traced them from the seat pans.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After letting the primer cure, I added som strong double sided tape to the back of the brackets.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This allowed me to fix the boots to the brackets.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally I could install the stick boots on the seat pans.

\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The seat pans…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The top part of the F-705 bulkhead…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the F-724 vertical baggage area ribs.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I spend the whole day out there today, preparing and painting all these areas.
