Finished Baggage Floor, Started Aft Seat Pans
I finished the baggage floors by installing the rivets and nutplates along the back edge and along the center tunnel.

Next, I cleaned between the seat ribs and clecoed on the aft seat pans. Immediately I ran into an interference issue. Some of the shop heads for the rivets that hold on the hinges are bumping into the flanges of the seat ribs. I had to relieve the flanges a little bit in a few spots to get the holes in alignment. I got all of the right seat pan riveted (on the left in this picture) except for the aft edge. I spent the last two hours bent over the longerons doing all of this. My back and hands are aching.
