Partly assembled the toe brake brackets, I had to leave out the rivets which would join the front floor skin to the channels since the bottom skin is already riveted to the channels and I still need to install the foam which I'm waiting for from Sling - the floor skin needs to be removed to do so.

Installed rivnuts with Loctite 277 on the centre console forward support, console strengthening channel, flap actuator support channels and riveted them to the front floor Z sections. Again, the Z sections cannot be riveted to the floor skin yet due to the foam.

Riveted the flap actuator channel to the flap actuator support channels.

Painted various other parts black for the interior.

Installed rivuts with Loctite 277 in the console skin components per the KAI page 163 and the six CF-RIB-009's on page 82.

Prepared various smaller centre fuselage parts - sanding of the primer with 400-grit sandpaper.

Loosely fitted the rudder pedal torque tubes to test check them.

Riveted the rudder pedal floor skin reinforcing angles in position.

Test fitted the centre console skins.
