Riveted Side Skin and Roll Bar Support

My buddy Andre stopped by and we riveted the forward ends of the skins that wrap around the rear window.

We then riveted these support plates to the longerons and seat support bulkhead.  The beefy angles I modified yesterday are installed under here to transfer any roll-over loads into the rest of the structure.

The angles are also riveted to the front face of the bulkhead.  We managed to rivet all of the these without removing the latch or the microswitch by using the double offset rivet set.

We also riveted these angles to the front side of the bulkhead to support the canopy latch bellcrank.
