This is one of the harder sections to install as it is made up of three pieces. The gear head panel is the first flat panel you see, followed by the two square boxes, one on either side, and finally the firewall bulkhead. To insure that everything lines up the three pieces are clamped and glued together outside the fuselage. After it has dried and hardened the whole piece is put into place and potted in using structural adhesive. Since the engine will be attached to the back side of the firewall bulkhead this has to be very strong.
