Nutplates

Had a few hours before work so started in on the multiple nutplates riveted to the aft fuselage. There’s approximately 26 that go back there. 8 each on the 2 inspection panels and 5 along each side of the fuselage for the #6 screws that attach the elevator and rudder fairings. I had to order dimpled nutplates from Aircraft Spruce since that hardware isn’t included for the flush screw option on the inspection panels which I chose to do. I got several done and found bucking them was easier solo then squeezing them in. I also used the Cherry Max CCR-264SS-3-2 pulled rivets for the first time. These are used in a couple locations and are specific to attaching nut plates.
