The computer is on the way! I was starting to think I’d never get it😬. Ordered in March. Some other updates. I had the rear firewall reupholstered. It’s worth noting that some time should be spent evaluating how the piece should be fabricated to close the firewall. I’m now on my 3rd version of the piece and made this one out of aircraft aluminum at the plane shop. The issue that I have now, is the upper water hose needs to be shortened a little and I can’t use the super sweet t-bolt clamps there bc they hit. It’s still going to be tight, but I’m going to run it like that until I get a wear spot, and then emboss with some cool tools. Hoping I can leave the upholstered part flat without a bulge.
Hindsight, I would have re-fiberglassed the top of the panel that hooks to the firewall PRIOR to reupholstery, but I didn’t even think about it, so had to work backwards a little bit to avoid redoing upholstery. If anyone wants a nice custom firewall piece, my old one will work for someone who just edits the top of the fiberglass prior to upholstery(the ideal way to do it)
