Brief Description: Install Nutplates on LHS Upper Flange
Called Vans early this morning and they said the screw holes should have been final drilled, but confirmed a #19 drill to open the holes up. Once the holes were big enough I used a screw to hold the nutplates in position and a cleco. A final adjustment with the awl and the rivet popped right in.
I used the squeezer and installed two different types of nutplates on the upper spar. No issues or difficulties so far. All the rivets were nice and flush.
Lock the nutplate into position with a screw, cleco and final position with the awl
