I first reinstalled all the panel structure. I know there will be an EFIS on the left hand side of the panel, and the rib is dead center. So this rib has to be modified. It has already be done and Van's doesn't object.
The first thing to do is to cut the rib down.



Here it is done.



Then some angle is adpated to the cut part. This will allow that part to be riveted to the subpanel, the exact position will be known later.



I also riveted the airvent brackets.



An finally, I installed the steps brackets under the baggage hold floor.

The session begins with the sanding of the remaining parts : forward skin and panel structure.



Then I installed the two fresh air scoops. They will be prosealed to the skin but I decided to use a few rivets to hold the scoop while the proseal is setting. To avoid braking the scoop during riveting, I fabricated a one piece shim with some leftover aluminium sheet. It didn't take to long and looks nice.

I had some time left and begun assembling the mapbox. here are all the parts : the box, the door and some supports angles. All need to be installed in the panel.

Beginning of the sanding of all the parts that have to be primed. This pile is what I managed to do in two hours and there is more left.

Still assembling the brakes. All the master cylinders are bolted to the pedals. The pedal is normally bolted to the rudder bar wih two bolts as on the right side in the picture, but to allow better movement of the pedals I installed one long bolt as on the left of the picture.



Here the whole assembly in the fuselage.
