I have just purchased a PA22-108 Colt (Tailwheel).
I need to remove the belly panel that fastens to the boot cowl.
I see the screws on the sides and along the rear edge.
The question is:
How does this panel fasten or is retained along the forward edge where it butts up
against the firewall?
Thanks

Rivets are used to retain the front of the panel. I usually remove them and replace with #8 screws and nut plates. There is a rivet hidden under the battery cable grommet and one hidden under the heat box on the lower firewall if I remember right, been a while since I took one apart...
