Firewall mounting

[SimonNicholson]

On the bottom corners of both sides of the firewall these is a rivet that sits against the fuselage. Should I grind this back or not worry.

Simon, I had the same issue and just ground those two rivets down flush.

Thanks Tim.

I have just noticed the river next to it has been mounted flush. Was this to solve this issue or for something else yet to be discovered?

[Mark Goldberg]

Probably just the flush rivet placed in the wrong spot. Mark

Simon - you don't want to leave it like that. The vibration will eat it away in no time.

It should have a flush rivet like that photo you've posted. Drill it out and replace it with a flush-head rivet.

From memory, I had this same problem too.

[SimonNicholson]

Thanks Jonathan that is what I ended up doing. Initially I ground it down then thought better and drilled it out

I brought it to the factory's attention that that one flush head rivet was put in the wrong hole. MG
