07/06/2023 - rivet shunt and fuse doubler - 1h

Written on . Posted in 5.3. Systems.

It's been short working sessions lately and in this one I have rivetted the shunt and fuse doubler to the firewall with my girlfriend as a backing plate holder. I used the back rivetting technique to rivet these 3/32 rivets. The gun just doesn't fit on the front side between the engine mount and the firewall so there wasn't really another option.
