Aft Fuselage taking shape

The next step is to install the WH-00057 Aft Fuselage Wiring Harness prior to installing the side skins. First, all the grommets had to be installed...



Just to show the order of the bulkheads...



The smaller braces are only resting in the grooves in the bulkheads as these all get riveted at the same time as the skins.


Same with all the horizontal braces - only held in with clecos.


Bottom of the F-01408 bulkhead...


Bottom of the F-01410 bulkhead...


And the most impressive of them all, the F-01411 bulkhead...


As everything is just clecoed in place at moment, I decided to install a diagonal brace to take some of weight off the smaller flanges of the larger F-01407 bulkhead...


I'm this cloth tape has many uses, but I was an engineer working in the automotive industry for almost 10 years, and this tape was awesome at reducing vibration, noise and damage to wires against sharp edges. I ordered quite a few roles of the stuff and started winding...
