10/31/2013 Fuselage F05 P32-01

P32-01 Engine Mount Installation.
I made some shims from the .063 sheet stock.
The rest of the day I worked on trying to get the mount in the correct location per the plans. I have been filing on the lower portion of the mount to try to get it a little closer to the fuselage. The ends are suppose to be out 22 13/16ths from the bottom front of the fuselage. At this point it appears to be about 22 15/16ths. It is interesting trying to measure to that point.

P32-01 Engine Mount Installation.
I filled the lower portion of the mount and got it clamped in the proper location. I drilled, up drilled and counter sunk the holes for the MS24694-S100 bolts. I installed the bolts but I used AN310-4 Castle Nuts instead of the AN363-428 Stop Nuts. This is temporary. I want to be able to remove the engine mount if needed. When I am sure I will leave the engine mount on I will replace the nuts with the required AN363-428 Stop nuts.
