Tonight was an easy 1 hour night in the shop. Grey’s Anatomy was on (by “on” I mean “available on the DVR”), which makes it a good time for me to go tinker in the garage.
Let’s finish up these inspection ports.
Scuffed on the inboard side, just to help me remember which side is inboard.
After deburring and dimpling.
Then, on the actual wing skins, I deburred, countersunk, dimpled, and riveted on the -8 sized dimpled nutplates.
I actually took three pictures, but they all look the same. So you only get one.
After putting some screws in, they all sit pretty flush.
Good looking.
1.0 hours. 3 ports with 16 rivets each…so 48 rivets.
