Finishing up the details of the wiring.

You should use type B screws with tinnerman nuts, not type A.

These hold the bottom portion of the instrument panel to the frame.

Hard to see, but lots getting done. Most of it small items of tidying up areas and detailing wire runs. Things I can do before getting the wings up here.

These fit around the inside of the doors. They basically hide where the outside covering meets up with the upholstery in the cabin. Of course I am missing one piece.

I checked the Univair site and didn’t see them. I’m guessing they are of automotive design from the 40’s so hopefully someone who follows this blog will recognize them and let me know where to get some replacements.

The two pieces that fit beside the pilot and copilot seats are some! Good thing you don’t see them very well as I am finding out I don’t like to do upholstery.

Ed Bowes, the guy who does any welding for me on the Stinson, received the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. Ed’s been around Duncan Aviation for a long time. I met him at an airshow in Lincoln when he was a Pilot for Southwest. Congrats to Ed

Fitting after covering right side.

Working on the interior, finishing up the panels around the doors and rear windows. But here’s the latest exterior shot I took just this morning.

More cleaning. The right side has more cracks than the left side. May have to replace them. The magneto cooling tubes are fine.

Removed the magnetos, starter, and generator from the engine. Found some shops that will overhaul them.
