Installed the WD-1021-R landing gear mount.  Went a bit quicker the second time.  I realized in doing the right mount, that I had not mounted the left side correctly when I match drilled the forward mount plate.  What this meant was that when mounted correctly the forward mount plate would be drawn aft another ¼” and the holes would not line up with the nutplates.  A quick trip to a local welder had the holes filled in for a second try – no pics.

The 113” forward fuse longeron – this one took quite a while to get just right.  Matches the template almost exactly:

I took a pause to test fit the longerons.  I wanted to make sure the bends were good and that the rivet lines lined up with the skins.  All lined up pretty nicely!

Match-drilled #40 the holes in the roll construction angles.  Cut and match-drilled the baggage door seal angles.  Match-drilled the holes common to the seal angles, mid-fuse longeron, seat back brace, and brace gusset:

Final drilled #19 the screw holes in the lower flange of the F-1015C-L/R mid cabin decks.  Machine countersinking the holes for #8 screws:
