• Yuck - the proseal returns - for sealing a few gaps in the firewall recess.

  

• Drill/countersink and install a #12 nutplate for the vent hose.

  

• Proseal in these corners.

  

• Using my new (cheap Boeing surplus) hand squeezer, finally installed these aft nutplates.

  

• Install a few rivets that will be inaccessable once the engine is in.

  

• Take a picture of this crank part number - because it will be hard to see once the prop is on.

  

• Remove the governor oil line temporarily - so I have access to bolt in the engine to mount bolts.

  

• Remove the steel shipping supports from the engine.

  

• Make some fiberglass tapes to fill in the nose gear fairing. Kinda fun.

  

• Install the tapes I made - with a bit of peel ply for a nice/bondable finish.
