This evening, I spent some time making up these doublers. The flange of this
doubler will have three rivets. The rivets near each side will go through the
doubler, the bulkhead, and the skin. The center rivet will go through the
doubler, the J-channel stringer, and the skin. The main face of this doubler
will have nine rivets attaching it to the bulkhead. I'm also going to have
to flatten out two flutes in the bulkhead flange to allow this doubler and the
bulkhead to nest nicely together.
Getting the doubler to have a matching stiffening bulge was quite tedious work.
I think it came out quite well, though.
A little while later, I had the second one done. I'll need to make two more
of these for the F-708 bulkhead as well.
