Firewall fiddling

Drilled the lightening holes in the battery box with a hole saw, then cleaned them up with a rotary file and scotchbrite wheel, all in the drill press.  Will need to pick up a can of black spray paint for the box, as my can is shot (too many seasons of freezing, I think).

Dug out the “MIDI” fuse blocks and decided to mount them below and to the left of the contactors, so I fabricated a doubler plate for them; I need to order a bunch of different kinds of nutplates including single-leggers and corners–which I should have done awhile ago, but they’re spendy little things.

Drilled the holes for mounting the nutplates for the oil pressure line, but there too, need to order nutplates.
