9 Jan - 2 Feb 2025

Upholstered the center consol side panels. Following that, I tackled the luggage compartment by starting with the 6 stringers followed by the leather covering on the front of rib 2 and carpeting the parachute cable tray. I then upholstered the rear of rib 2 with carpet (no specific carpeting was supplied for this, so I made up templates from the leather front piece prior to installing that). Thereafter the side panels of the luggage compartment were upholstered, followed by the rear bulkhead. I reinstalled the luggage tie-down rings and will need to trim the floor carpet to suit

This was a time-consuming process and it was tricky working in the confined area. I'm reasonably happy with the outcome. I still need to address the luggage door upholstery and sort out the close-out panels under the front seats. The bolts holding the spacers for the wings in the main spar are currently interfering with fitment

Thereafter I installed the rear seat backrest stops, the rear passenger headset jacks and the CPC oxygen connectors. The rear seatbelts are also installed to the rear bulkhead now, but I suspect they may need to be removed again when work continues
