Brief Description:  Z Brackets - drilling to left spar

I drilled all the left wing brackets to the spar.

First I double checked the alignment of all brackets and clamped the bracket about to be drilled. Rechecked alignment after clamping as the bracket sometimes budged slightly during clamping. I clamped the bracket in such a way that I could back-drill both remaining holes (using the spar as a guide) without needing to remove the clamp - this minimised any opportuniy for later mis-alignment.
