 |
|
Instructions tell me to rivet top tailcone skin when riveting cabin cover. I see no reason not to leave it off until things get completed behind baggage bulkhead. I always thought though that I would be bucking rivets when attaching cabin cover but it calls for cs4-4 rivets. I was thinking an426s since there is a backing plate. Has anyone done this or not a good idea with the fiberglass? Isn't this how the cowl hinges are attached?

Yep - don't final rivet until you really need to for door fit, window
install and finishing. Just before final install of the top is a good time
to finish the cabin top inside (paint or glue in your headliner) and final
paint the interior.
The CS4-4 rivets work just fine. After installing the cabin top recommend a
light micro balloon fill over the cabin to tail cone seam, sand, then a
couple of bids of med-light glass over the now filled and sanded seam.
After that a thin coat of balloons over the glass to fill in the weave, sand
and prep for paint. Do the same over the window/cabin top seams. Don't
just fill in with micro as you may get cracks in your paint right over the
window to cabin top seam.
Do the same on the cowl where you have rivets in fiberglass. This mitigates
rivet heads popping out just enough to ruin the nice finish paint job.

Follow the instructions. It all works just fine. No reason to anything differently on this part of the build

I used the CS4-4, was far easier than trying to rivet it with an426. Thus
far no cracks and the cabin cover hasn't fallen off yet!
Don’t over engineer this. pop rivet it and throw a layer of resin and micro
over it if you want to make it look nice.

Ok thanks just making sure I'm not missing something. I have the cabin top painted interior wise and am now ready to commit to fastening it.

If you want, some folks have squeezed solid rivets under back windows as far as squeezer yoke would reach.
