Weldment and the Wing Assembly.
EAC Locating Tabs
EAC Locating Tabs are bolted to the front and back
of each Middle Bulkhead Assembly. All fasteners use
a lock washer or Locktite (Figure 8)
.
Lateral Cable Support
Some systems require a Lateral Cable Support Kit
(Refer to Step 10 of this manual). The Lateral Cable
Support Kit contains Bulkhead Mounts that attach to
the last two bulkhead assemblies of required
systems. They bolt to the outermost free
holes in the Wing Assemblies (Figure 10). They do fit
inside the Legs if necessary (Figure 11).
NOTE: Refer to the System Configuration chart in
Appendix “A” to determine if Lateral Cable
supports are required.
Empty Bay Bumpers
Some systems require an empty bay (no Energy
Absorbing Cartridges). These systems utilize a
Bumper Kit to minimize damage in an impact (Figure
12). The kit includes (4) Bumpers that mount to the
rear bulkhead assembly of the empty bay. Two
Bumpers mount to the top of the assembly at the
Wing to Bulkhead joint using the same hardware.
The other two Bumpers mount through the Leg to the
Wing – Bulkhead joint.
NOTE: Refer to the System Configuration chart in
Appendix “A” to determine if empty bays are
required.
Following complete assembly of the Front, Middle,
and Backstop Bulkhead assemblies, position them in
order. Space them at approximately 34” [860mm]
apart, center to center. Also, align them through the
centerline of the system. Accuracy and care taken
here will improve ease of assembly and reduce
efforts to straighten the system.
