Baggage Area – Part 1

Section 33 has you closing up the baggage area floors and the rear seats as well as some of the side panels. Previously I had cut the baggage area ribs and matched drilled them to the baggage floors. I had purchased a set of Baggage area access panels from AirWard, however they would not work without serious modifications. Luckily I was able to return them to AirWard and just purchased the Vans Access panel VA-195D and VA-195C which worked perfectly.

I went ahead a primed everything, and got all the parts dimpled per the plans. I spent a little extra time making sure I didn’t dimple the wrong holes as the left and right floors do have some differences due to the baggage door.

I then back rivet all the floor ribs and access panel ring and cleco everything together. After taking a moment to appreciate how it all looks, I then have to start to think about running conduit before I begin to rivet the floor down. I’m making this a short update as I will discuss the conduit runs and other modifications in a follow-up post.
