Before doing the final firewall forward install, the propeller has to come off. I also have to squeeze one last rivet on each gap filler. Having tried a few tricks, I had no luck with my pneumatic squeezer, maybe a manual squeezer would have worked. So I installed a Cherrymax rivet.

I removed the spinner and sanded everything. Some small problem areas had to be filled. When everything is cured, and after a light sanding, I should be able to apply a last layer of primer. The picture shows the shoulder created inside the spinner. Working time on this subpart Today : 1h (Total : 16h) |

I'm not happy with the results after the proseal has cured. So I removed everything and do a new small shoulder with epoxy and flox. It's harder than proseal, but will be easier to sand to make small adjustments. Working time on this subpart Today : 2h (Total : 15h) |

The proseal trick did not work as expected. Before redoing it, I install the nutplates for the six screws that go from the spinner to the forward plate. It's the usual drilling, deburring, countersinking and riveting sequence. I then apply a new layer of proseal hoping for better results. Working time on this subpart Today : 2h (Total : 13h) |
